"I'm no ordinary woman..." Jack is in love with Kitty, Charley with Amy and both need Charley's Aunt to help. But when she doesn't turn up, they coerce their friend and fellow student into posing as the widowed millionaire, so they can confess their feelings to the girls. Things become more complicated when first, Jack's father and then Amy's uncle turn up. Both take a keen interest in Charley's Aunt, "from Brazil - where the nuts come from." One of the most popular comic farces of all time, Charley's Aunt has been loved since its original performances in 1893 and the continuous four year run that followed. The original dialogue is retained in this edition, refreshed with modern stage direction and a new introduction.… (more)

This was a really fun read recommended by [a:Katie Lumsden|21944748|Katie Lumsden|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1668455683p2/21944748.jpg] on her channel, Books and Things. I have never enjoyed reading plays and can't say that I remember ever actually finishing one all the way through, besides possibly The Miracle Worker in the 8th grade. However, committing to stretch myself, I purchased this copy on eBay and read it over the weekend while visiting Arizona. It was a funny and fun story that I'd love to see on stage one day. Maybe I'll read more plays after all! ( )
