The Royal Family

Comedy about the Cavendishes, a leading and slightly eccentric theatrical family. Their real-life family drama occurs in a Manhattan apartment when the grand matriarch, Fanny Cavendish, learns that her daughter and granddaughter may both be giving up the stage for marriage. Complicating the situation is the arrival of Fanny's son, Tony - a Hollywood matinee idol on the run from a breach-of-promise suit.
