Ad for the Broadway production, at the Royale Theatre

All in Good Time is a comic play by Bill Naughton based on his 1961 Armchair Theatre television play "Honeymoon Postponed". Originally produced at the Mermaid Theatre in 1963 in London, it subsequently transferred to the Phoenix Theatre, and then to Broadway, where it ran for 44 performances in February and March 1965.[1][2] The Broadway cast included Donald Wolfit, Marjorie Rhodes and Richard Dysart.[3] It received Tony Award Best Actress and Best Featured Actress nominations for Marjorie Rhodes and Alexandra Berlin.[4]

Teenage newlyweds living with the groom's parents, have difficulties consummating their marriage.

The play, directed by Josephine Wilson, opened on 6 March 1963 at Bernard Miles' Mermaid Theatre, London, before transferring to the Phoenix Theatre in the West End.[5]
