Sailor Beware!

13 April 2026–18 April 2026

Leicester Drama Society

Main House

Synopsis

In this 1950s-set comedy, Able Seaman Albert Tuffnell is in love with Shirley, but he views the prospect of marrying into her family with concern having never known home life. Albert is also disturbed to find that Shirley has weakly acquiesced to living only three doors away from her mother.

By pretending to jilt Shirley on their wedding morning, he sets off a chain of events that lead family, neighbours, and even the vicar to tell matriarchal Emma what they think of her domineering ways.

Will Albert be able to right the ship, make peace with Shirley, and avoid his soon-to-be mother-in-law’s scorn? Maybe, but Sailor… Beware!

Warnings: Includes dated language, behaviours and attitudes.
