Charley's Aunt by BRANDON THOMAS Produced by MADELEINE GAIR Performed in April 2009
"I'm Charley's aunt from Brazil—where the nuts come from!" This is the evergreen farce set in Oxford in the days when young ladies could not be seen in polite society without a chaperone. Undergraduates Jack and Charley persuade their chum Fancourt Babberly to impersonate Charley's wealthy aunt as a ruse to invite their sweethearts Kitty and Amy to tea. All is fine until Jack's father decides to pursue the 'old lady' for her hand in marriage, in competition with the girls' crotchety old guardian, Stephen Spettigue. And then the real aunt turns up! A play in costume always goes down well with our audiences, and this was no exception.
