Never Too Late is a comedy by Sumner Arthur Long about Harry Lambert, a comfortably set-in-his-ways middle-aged man whose orderly household is thrown into gleeful chaos when his wife announces, quite unexpectedly, that she is pregnant after many years of marriage. As the news ripples through the family, Harry must contend with a newly attentive but overbearing son-in-law eager to modernize the household in preparation for the baby, along with a wave of well-meaning but exhausting advice from neighbors and relatives. Harry's blustering resistance to change, and his slow, reluctant embrace of impending fatherhood late in life, form the comic engine of the play. The humor leans on gentle generational conflict and the universal comedy of a household turned upside down by unexpected news. Its light, situation-comedy sensibility, reminiscent of the domestic comedies popular on Broadway in the early 1960s, made it an accessible, crowd-pleasing choice for community theater audiences.
