The classic British comedy Charley's Aunt is a farce by Brandon Thomas that premiered in 1892. The show follows a series of complications including mistaken identities and romantic entanglements that begin when two young Oxford undergraduates invite their young sweethearts to meet a long-lost aunt, Donna Lucia. When the aunt doesn't show up, they ask an older friend to impersonate her and all hell breaks loose as old lovers reappear, gold-digging men proposition the pretend aunt and the real Donna Lucia arrives.
