Scriptease: Charlie's Aunt

“A wild story of mistaken identity, young love, old love, angry uncles, and a beautiful, exotic aunt.” In Victorian Oxford, Charley Wyckham and Jack Chesney pressure fellow student Fancourt Babberly to pose as Charley’s aunt Donna Lucia from Brazil ‘where the nuts come from’. Their purpose? To have a chaperone for their amorous visits to Amy and Kitty, niece and ward of Stephen Spettigue. It gets complicated when Fancourt, in drag, becomes the love object of both old Spettigue and Sir Francis Chesney . . . LynchPin presents a rehearsed reading of this farce by Brandon Thomas, first performed in 1892. It ran in London for a world-record-breaking 1466 performances, followed by numerous revivals, film and musical adaptations.
