Brandon Thomas' riotous farce Charley's Aunt is given a glamorous glow-up in a new adaptation by Rob Madge, the award-winning creator of My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?). Two scheming students, Charley and Jack, must circumnavigate the curmudgeonly Spettigue to declare their feelings to love interests Amy and Kitty. The promised arrival of Charley's aunt gives them an opportunity and the best laid plans are set. One delayed arrival, one fortuitous arrival and lots of classic comic confusion later, the champagne is finally poured at a dinner party to remember. Mistaken identities, new identities and the discovery of true identities, will love – old and new - triumph through it all? Charley's Aunt is premiered at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2025.
