What absurd ends would a couple of lovesick young men in the late 19th century be willing to go to in order to win the affections of two attractive young women? Jack and Charley have enticed Kitty and Amy to a luncheon with Charley’s millionaire aunt from Brazil, “where the nuts come from,” but there’s a problem – the wealthy matron cancels at the last minute. The men have an absurd solution befitting this British farce: they invite their ne’er-do-well Oxford undergrad friend to stand in for the absent auntie, and hilarity ensues when the real aunt returns! Don’t miss this lighthearted comedy of errors and errant lads that will surely have you in stitches.
