In the Dutch adaptation of Brondon Thomas's play, the household butler (Jon van Eerd) is persuaded to impersonate the aunt. Whether the butler likes it or not, he must navigate life as a woman. This sets off a series of hilarious events. For Jon van Eerd, it's another golden opportunity to make you burst into laughter. The Aunt of Charlie is a classic in the farce genre and according to many, the best piece ever written by Brandon Thomas (1857-1914).
