Charley's Aunt
By Brandon Thomas
Presented by The Online Stage
This classic farce was first performed in 1892. Since the record breaking initial run in London, it has been revived many times around the world in a variety of languages, and has also been adapted for a number of presentations on film.
The play incorporates many of the features which have become standard in romantic comedies: a cross dressing central character, identity confusion, young lovers kept apart by parental influence and older lovers unexpectedly reunited.
