CHARLEY’S AUNT

Farcical comedy. 3 acts.  By Brandon Thomas. 7 males, 5 females.  Interior, exterior.  Modern costumes.

The first act introduces us to Jack Chesney’s rooms in college.  He is violently in love with Kitty Verdun.  A chum of his, Charles Wykeham, is in the same quandary, loving Miss Spettigue.  The young men at once lay their plans and ask the objects of their affections to join them at their rooms for luncheon—­in order to meet Donna Lucia D’Alvadorez, Charley’s aunt, who is expected to arrive from Brazil.  Miss Spettigue and Miss Verdun accept the invitation, but the millionaire Donna from the antipodes sends a telegram saying that she will have to defer her visit for a few days.  The problem is solved at once by forcing another undergraduate of the name of Lord Fancourt Babberley into a black satin skirt, a lace fichu, a pair of mitts, an old-fashioned cap and wig.  As Charley’s Aunt, then, this old frump is introduced to the sweethearts, to Jack Chesney’s father, and to Stephen Spettigue.  Unexpectedly the real aunt turns up, but she assumes the name of Mrs. Smith or Smythe.  To attain his object,—­viz., the rich widow’s hand—­the solicitor invites everybody to dinner.  She gets his consent to the marriage of his ward to young Chesney, and eventually everybody but the avaricious solicitor is rendered overwhelmingly happy.
