Charley's Aunt
A Play by Brandon Thomas
Synopsis: Oxford, 1890. Two students, Charley Wyckham and Jack Chesney, want to
propose marriage to two lovely young women. Old Stephen Spettigue--an
uncle to one of them, a guardian to the other--won't let them anywhere
near the boys; but he's going out of town. Still, the proper young
ladies won't visit the young men without a chaperon. Charley's aunt from
Brazil--where the nuts come from--is expected to arrive. When she
doesn't, the boys have to do some quick thinking. Enter their rascally
friend and fellow student Babbs Babberley, trying on an old ladies
costume for the varsity play. They pretty much blackmail him into posing
as Charley's aunt. This ruse sets in motion a series of events that
includes Babbs getting courted by both Spettigue and Jack's father, Sir Francis
Chesney. Just as things look like they can't any wilder, Charley's real aunt shows up.
