Widely regarded as one of the most sensational and entertaining comedies of all time, Charley's Aunt centres on two undergraduates in search of a chaperone for a proper proposal from their girlfriends. Jack and Charley manage to persuade their macho rugby player friend to impersonate a millionaire aunt in this hilarious tale of young love and preposterous deception.
Charley's Aunt is in three acts and was written by Brandon Thomas. It was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds in February 1892 and its original London run of 1,466 performances broke box office records.
This production is set in the 1920s complete with live music and dances like the Charleston and Black Bottom.
