Latest revision as of 16:51, 27 April 2024

Charley's Aunt is a farce in three acts written by English actor, playwright and song-writer Brandon Thomas (1856-1914)[1].


The original text

The plot revolves around Lord Fancourt Babberley, an undergraduate whose friends Jack and Charley persuade him to impersonate the latter's aunt. The complications of the plot include the arrival of the real aunt and the attempts of an elderly fortune hunter to woo the bogus aunt.

The first performance took place at the Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds in February 1892, before it opened in London at the Royalty Theatre on 21 December 1892. Soon transferred to Globe Theatre on 30 January 1893, the production's 1,466 performances eventually broke the then record for longest-running play worldwide.

Equally successful on Broadway and in Paris, the play toured internationally, becoming one of the most successful farces in theatrical history, constantly revived throughout the 20th century.

Translations and adaptations

The play has been translated into many languages, adapted into operas, movies, TV films, and musical plays over the years.

In 1948 Where's Charley?, a musical based on the play opened in New York, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser (1910–1969)[2] and book by George Abbott (1887–1995) [3]. It starred Ray Bolger and ran for 792 performances. A film version released in 1952.

(For more details on other international adaptations, see the Wikipedia entry on "Charley's Aunt" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charley%27s_Aunt).

A recent one act version of the original play, scaled down to just under an hour's playing time, has been published online by Gary Peterson[4].
