Charley’s Aunt

• Events Home

Perfect for those winter days - a classic farce, with a dash of heart.

Love is a thing of joy - it makes these lads write poems (don't worry - no-one reads them -including us!) But they can’t string a sentence together when it comes to letters ... to their beloveds ... who they met at the ball the other night … (sound familiar?)

They ask them to lunch and that’s when the chaos begins - all deftly managed by an unflappable College Scout (think Jeeves - managing a bun fight … after buying the buns!)

First performed in 1892, on February 29th, Charley’s Aunt became the longest-running play worldwide, a Christmas favourite, also adapted for films and musicals.

Mistaken identity, crossed wires, misunderstanding and fast paced action - not forgetting the cross-dressing (well someone must pretend to be Charley’s Aunt - she’s not arrived, and the beloveds must have a chaperone … it’s 1892 remember!)

You’ll love it! This play will make you laugh.

Nightly 7.30pm, no performance Sun 11 and Sat 10 is at 2.30pm.
