Read Narrative
The Leicester Chronicle, Saturday 17 May 1930, advertised ‘the famous domestic drama’ The Black Sheep of the Family at the Pavilion Theatre on Monday-Wednesday, and a Thursday matinee, in the following week. The author of the play is not named, so there is no certainty that it was Gladys Hastings Walton, but no other play with the same title was licensed by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office.
