Title: My giddy aunt
First published: 1970
Description: Set in Lady Eppingham’s house in India, this play has all the superb 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, whilst 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.
