Emil Wolk...brilliant new production at the Royal Exchange, Manchester. On top of the farce he has added surrealist fun and circus clowning to produce a club sandwich of zaniness. It's Buster Keaton meets Monty Python....The result is a barrel of fun that rumbles and tumbles along with unstoppable momentum to a colourful and entertaining finale....This Charley's Aunt with added oomph is great fun....

Michael Sheen, as the phoney Charley's Aunt, is a splendid cross between Queen Victoria and Old Mother Riley, and Ian Puleston-Davies is an engagingly nerve-wracked Charley....Simon Egerton excels as the breathlessly hard-working manservant Brassett.....
