Frank Vickery’s dark comedy revolves around the funeral of an elderly father – not usually an occasion for hilarity. But when the family concerned numbers among its members a wellington-clad cook who bakes almondless almond cakes, another who’s convinced his shopping trolley is a clever dog called Rover (he’s already taught him to beg), and a sister who’s a happy inmate of a psychiatric home, the proceedings are bound to be lively! Add to this a posthumous joke played by Father on three of his daughters and the fact that they’re not exactly what might be termed a close-knit family (they’ve got the wrong person from the psychiatric home), the scene is set for a scorching comedy of personalities and situations!
