Charley's Aunt

Written by Brandon Thomas

Produced by Barry Young

Production Dates: 28th/29th March 2003

Synopsis

This classic evergreen farce is set in Oxford during Commemoration week. The imminent visit of Charles Wykeham's aunt from Brazil, Donna Lucia, provides an excuse for Charles and Jack to invite their young ladies to meet her. When a telegram arrives postponing Donna Lucia's visit, they persuade their amiable friend Babbs (since they must have a chaperon) to impersonate the aunt.
Here the fun begins, Babbs, thoroughly enjoys being kissed and caressed by the girls and receiving their confidences, but finds his ingenuity severely taxed when brought face to face with the real Donna Lucia. Moreover, Donna Lucia amuses herself by concealing her identity where declaring that she knew Donna Lucia's husband most intimately. All ends, of course, happily!

Reviews
A show I have heard of but never seen. This was a first rate performance of what was billed as 'The classic comedy' and it most certainly was.

Directed by Barry Young this was a well rounded and nicely observed piece from a bygone era,...[Click here for the full review]
