by Brandon Thomas is a classic farce of mistaken identity. Two college gentlemen invite two young ladies to lunch to meet Charley's aunt and to propose marriage. When the aunt doesn't show, they must have a chaperone, so they draft a fellow classmate to impersonate the aunt. Of course when the real aunt shows up all manner of craziness ensues. Throw in two older gentlemen, father of one of the boys and the guardian of the two girls, who both fancy the "aunt," and you have the makings of a "rollicking" good farce. Reviews Quotes from "Charley's
Aunt" “One
hundred and ten years after he wrote it, Brandon Thomas’ farce, Charley’s Aunt
is still laugh-out-loud funny. And the sparkling gem crafted by Good Theater is
the perfect production to best enjoy it. If this season opener is an example of
the quality we can expect from Good Theater, then theater audiences now have another
theater on par with the two Equity houses in the state…Allen’s direction is crisp
and detailed; the cast is delightfully comic with lots of delicious stage business;
and the technical and design aspects are top notch.” Cast & Crew Cast:
Timothy Bate, Susan Beem, Kelly Caufield, Ian Gleason, Mariah Machado, Bob McCormack,
Lee K. Paige, Seth Rigoletti, William Sandstead, Stephen Underwood
