Charley's Aunt

Copthorne Village Hall

How hard can it be to start a podcast? Jack and Charley are struggling influencers - isn't everyone these days? They've got a plan to attract some investment from the prestigious AK Agency with their secret weapon: Charley's aunt is a famous actress from Brazil, and the company CEO is bound to fall to her flirtations. But tragedy strikes when her flight back from Brazil is cancelled - can someone step in to save the day?! Bring on their friend Babbs, who suddenly finds himself doing some very high stakes cosplay as Donna Lucia D'Alvadorez. What can possibly go wrong, especially when the real Donna Lucia manages to make her way back to England...? Charley's Aunt is a classic farce from 1892, but we're bringing it right into the 21st century with a brand new adaptation by director Trevor Hodsdon. Bring on generational miscommunication, the modern complexities of online situationships, and the age old question - how hard can it be to find fame nowadays?
