Charley’s Aunt
By Brandon Thomas adapted by Rob Madge
Directed by Kevin Knauer
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
Love is in the air, but Victorian convention threatens to spoil everyone’s plans. When two Oxford students discover their carefully arranged chaperone isn’t coming, desperation leads to one of theatre’s most outrageous disguises. What follows is a whirlwind of mistaken identities, unexpected romance and comic chaos as the deception spirals spectacularly out of control.
Rob Madge’s vibrant new adaptation lovingly reimagines Brandon Thomas’s classic farce for a new generation. Keeping all the glorious misunderstandings and laugh-out-loud comedy of the original while embracing themes of identity, self-expression and joy, it’s a fresh, inclusive celebration of one of the funniest plays ever written – proof that great farce never goes out of fashion.
‘A joyous makeover… glorious.’ WhatsOnStage
‘A fresh and fun glow-up for Victorian farce.’ The Guardian
