Experience the energetic farce of Charley's Aunt, adapted by Jonathan Hall and performed live in front of a packed audience at Manchester Grammar School. This delightful play, originally written by Brandon Thomas, is set in the charming world of an Oxford College circa 1892, where Jack and Charley are madly in love with the sweetest girls, Amy and Kitty.

As the story unfolds, the boys must navigate the challenges posed by their guardian, Mr. Spettigue, who threatens to whisk their loves away to Scotland. Salvation arrives in the form of a telegram from Charley's long-lost aunt from Brazil, leading to a series of comedic events that broke historic records with an original London run of 1,466 performances.
