Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Charley’s Aunt
by Brandon Thomas
Directed by Staci York
Oxford, 1892. Jack and Charley are undergraduates in love—with two young women who are leaving for Scotland tomorrow. They need to propose, but Victorian propriety demands a chaperone, and they can't possibly invite the girls to their rooms unchaperoned. Fortunately, Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil is due to arrive any moment. Unfortunately, she doesn't. Fortunately, their friend Lord Fancourt Babberley happens to be nearby—in a dress, rehearsing for a college play. What follows is a runaway train of mistaken identity, romantic chaos, and one increasingly desperate man in a wig being pursued by a fortune-hunting uncle. The 1892 farce that shattered every long-run record in theater history, and still hasn't stopped being funny.
Run Time - 2 hours and 20 minutes with one 15-minute intermission.
