It is brought bang up to date in this glamorous glow-up by the creator of the multi-award-winning My Son s a Queer (But What Can You Do?). Rob Madge's adaptation of Charley's Aunt opened last year at the Watermill Theatre, Newbury.

With eight larger-than-life roles and plenty of opportunities for bold and adventurous design, this joyous modern makeover of the original is a sheer joy to perform and watch.
