By: Brandon Thomas (1848-1914)
Charley's Aunt is a delightful comedy that had me laughing out loud from beginning to end. The plot is clever and full of twists, keeping me engaged and entertained throughout. The characters are quirky and endearing, each adding their own unique charm to the story. The dialogue is witty and fast-paced, adding to the overall hilarity of the play. Brandon Thomas has crafted a truly entertaining piece of work that is sure to keep audiences amused. I highly recommend this play to anyone looking for a good laugh and a fun night out at the theater.Book Description: The girlfriends are coming to visit the chaps at college, but of course they can't stay unless there is a proper chaperone. So what could be more reasonable that getting a friend from the Drama Club to dress up and pretend to be Charley's Aunt? Simple and sure to work! What could go wrong? Howsabout the real aunt arriving? This play has been revived and adapted numerous times including as films, a Broadway musical, and even an opera. - Summary by ToddHW
