Charley's Aunt is a light-hearted Victorian comedy. It is very suitable for a Summer's evening. It was written in 1892 by Brandon Thomas, in Three Acts. This production will condense all the action into two Acts, and will consequently be a little updated in the process - the costumes are a clue here. Fittingly, the setting will be changed from Oxford to Cambridge.
Synopsis
The action takes place during May Week. Undergraduate Charles Wykeham is expecting a visit from his aunt Donna Lucia from Brazil. Although he has never met her himself, she provides an excuse for him and his friend Jack to invite their young ladies, Kitty and Amy, to meet her. When a telegram arrives postponing Donna Lucia's visit, they persuade a fellow undergraduate, Babbs, who takes part in amateur dramatics, to impersonate her. The young ladies must have a chaperone.
Babbs enjoys being kissed and petted by the girls but his ingenuity is severely taxed when the real Donna Lucia arrives, but does not reveal her identity. Also she brings with her the girl of whom Babbs dreams.
Further complications ensue when Sir Francis, Jack's father, and Mr. Spettigue, Amy's father, arrive. They have heard of Donna Lucia's vast wealth, and proceed to offer their hands, and their hearts, to the wrong one.
The Borrowers In conjunction with BAWDS Directed by Gloria Milne
