Taking Charlie

Taking Charlie is a dark comedic fantasy, based on a true story, about the abduction of Charlie Chaplin’s body by two hapless kidnappers in 1978. The play uses puppetry, physical theatre and shadow play to create the world the characters inhabit.

Returning to The Lowry - where the show was developed - to kick off the company's first tour, Goofus presents a tale full of comedy, bad ideas and dead comics.
