Sailor Beware!

by Philip King and Falkland Cary

performed by BTG February 1969

A Comedy

Beware of mothers-in-law, especially of one like Emma Hornett. Albert Tufnell, AB, is anxious that his fiancee, Shirley, should not take after her mother, Emma. Albert is also disturbed to find that Shirley has weakly acquiesced to living only three doors away from her mother. Albert's only defence is not to turn up at the church. Later he makes peace with Shirley and the wedding is 'on' again.
