Charley's Aunt - Preamble

Armidale Radio Theatre Society

Welcome to our 2024 production of Charley's Aunt!

This year WORK300 student, Nicholas Troon, decided to experiment with the classic radio theatre format by including a live audience in his production of Brandon Thomas' "Charley's Aunt".

Charley's Aunt is a hilarious play which follows two lovestruck boys attempting to propose to their respective loves. Trouble blocks their way in the form of the girls’ melancholic guardian Sir Stephen Spettigue. As so, the boys need to concoct a plot to get the girls away from their guardians glare and do so in hilarious fashion. The play features mistaken identity, love, and plenty of laughs.
