Sailor Beware! (play)
''Sailor Beware!'' is a comic play by Philip King and Falkland Cary. After a repertory company production in Worthing in 1954, it opened in the West End of London on 16 February 1955 and ran for 1,231 performances.
The play depicts the successful attempt by a young sailor to curb the tyrannical ways of his prospective mother-in-law. It was the first London appearance by Peggy Mount, who achieved immediate celebrity in the role of the domineering Mrs Hornett. The play spawned a film adaptation and a stage sequel, and has been revived on several occasions.
==History==
The co-author, Philip King, had written an earlier hit comedy, ''See How They Run'' (1945), and had collaborated with Falkland Cary on five plays.〔("Philip King" ), Contemporary Authors Online, Gale, 19 April 2002 〕 Their ''Sailor Beware!'' was first produced by the Worthing repertory company in 1954. The cast included Peggy Mount and Richard Coleman, who retained their original roles when the play was presented at the Strand Theatre, London the following year.〔Hayward, Anthony ("Obituary: Richard Coleman" ), ''The Independent'', 14 February 2009, pp. 50–51〕 The success of the West End production established Coleman as "a reliable and good-looking juvenile lead", according to ''The Times'',〔("Richard Coleman – Lives online" ), ''The Times'', 20 January 2009, p. 60〕 and Mount became what ''The Daily Mirror'' called "The toast of the town … the actress London is raving about".〔Whitcombe, Noel. "The Toast of the Town", ''The Daily Mirror'', 19 February 1955, p. 2〕 The play ran at the Strand until 22 February 1958, a total of 1,231 performances.〔Gaye, p. 1537〕
