A Peculiar Family is an 1865 comedy musical play by the English writer William Brough featuring music by Thomas German Reed. The play starred German Reed, his wife Priscilla, and John Parry. It premiered in 1865 at the German Reeds' London theatre, the Royal Gallery of Illustration, and is part of a multi-decade series known as the German Reed Entertainments. The play is set in a French coastal hotel and features the eponymous family: Barnaby Bounce, his sister, Cherry, two of his nephews and a grandfather, along with a German detective named Herr Von Doppelslich, the French landlady and a countess. The story involves a mix-up over a white hat worn by Barnaby and the hat's owner, who is being pursued by Von Doppelslich.
