Inhaltsangabe

'Hold on to your neck ties, boys. Charley's aunt is here!'

Scheming students Charley and Jack must somehow navigate the curmudgeonly Spettigue in order to declare their feelings to love interests Amy and Kitty. The promised arrival of Charley's immensely rich aunt gives them their opportunity – but the course of true love never did run straight or smooth...

Mistaken identities, false identities, the discovery of true identities: will love – old and new – triumph through it all?

Brandon Thomas's celebrated farce Charley's Aunt, fantastically successful when first performed in 1892, is brought bang up to date in Rob Madge's riotous and glamorous adaptation. It opened at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2025, directed by Sophie Drake.
