Century Church Theatre is presenting its spring performance, My Giddy Aunt starting this week.
Written by John Chapman and Ray Cooney, and directed by Nick Holmes, this production is set in Lady Eppingham’s house in India. The play has all the comedy that one would expect from the masters of farce, plus a good measure of thrills.
The eccentric but aristocratic Lady Eppingham lives in a world of fantasy and past glory of the Empire, while the running of her tea estate is left in the hands of her unscrupulous nephews.
But, when Beatrice Horrocks, Lady Eppingham’s half-sister of decidedly lowly birth, arrives to claim her right to manage the estate, the situation changes and in a series of hilariously funny scenes, she slowly but surely sorts everything out and unmasks the schemes of her nephews.
The show runs March 18 to 27 at Century Church Theatre in Hillsburgh
Tickets range from $15 to $18; with group discounts for 10 or more.
