2022 – Charley’s Aunt

What absurd ends would a couple of lovesick young men in the late 19th century be willing to go to in order to win the affections of two attractive young women?

This classic evergreen farce is set in Oxford during the 1890s. 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 to impersonate the aunt – and the fun really begins.
