It is one of the most popular and enduring comedic plays in the English language. The story is set in Oxford and revolves around two university students, Jack Chesney and Charley Wykeham, who invite two young ladies to their lodgings to propose marriage. However, they find themselves in need of a chaperone to meet societal expectations, and they expect Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil, whom they have never met, to fill this role.When Charley's aunt's visit is delayed, their friend Lord Fancourt Babberley, whom they call "Babbs," is persuaded to impersonate the absent aunt, dressing up in drag. The situation becomes hilariously complicated when the real aunt unexpectedly shows up, leading to a series of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements."Charley's Aunt" is celebrated for its witty dialogue, slapstick humor, and satirical take on social norms and courtship. It has been adapted into several films, television productions, and musicals over the years, attesting to its timeless appeal and the universal enjoyment it continues to elicit from audiences around the world.
