Saturday Afternoon Drama – Charley’s Aunt

Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas

Date and time: 4pm, Saturday 6 February

Set in Victorian Oxford, the story centres on Lord Fancourt Babberley, an undergraduate whose friends Jack and Charley persuade him to impersonate the latter's aunt. The complications of the plot include the arrival of the real aunt and the attempts of an elderly fortune hunter to woo the bogus aunt. The play concludes with three pairs of young lovers united, along with an older pair – Charley's real aunt and Jack's widowed father.
