“WHERE’S CHARLEY”
A LAUGHING MATTER

Shapely table-legs are indecent and must be covered -- so proclaimed the august
Queen Victoria.

The manners and mores of the Victorian era prove a perfect target for hilarity in

“Where's Charley?’, the upcoming musical comedy by the Douglas College

Theatre Department.

“Where's Charley?” was originally adapted from Brandon Thomas’ play “Charley's
Aunt” by two masters of the Broadway musical, George Abbot and Frank Loesser,
beginning its popular success on Broadway in 1948.

In the grand tradition of British farce, the pitfalls multiply precariously.

The action unfolds around Oxford chums Jack and Charley, played by Dan Derkson
and Colin Carney, who invite their lady friends to a lunch chaperoned by Charley's
aunt from Brazil, played by Susan Hunkin.

But when the aunt fails to arrive, Charley is left in a constant whirl as he dizzily
portrays both himself and his aunt, while dodging a middle-aged suitor enamoured
with his “feminine” charms.
