CHARLEY'S AUNT at Louisville Center for the Arts

At Oxford University in 1892, we meet Jack Chesney, who loves Kitty Verdun, and Charley Wykeham, who loves Miss Amy Spettigue. They invite the ladies to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil, "where the nuts come from.” Cancelling her visit at the last minute, the millionaire aunt sends the boys into cataclysmic confusion. What do they do now? The problem is solved by drafting their feckless Oxford undergrad pal, Fancourt Babberly, into pretending to be Charley’s Aunt, who is then introduced to the ladies, to Jack's father and to Stephen Spettigue, Amy's guardian. When the real aunt turns up, classic comic chaos ensues.
