The show will focus on Chaplins relationship with his mother, who after being admitted to an asylum, was forced to put her sons into the workhouse.

‘Chaplin – The Charlie Chaplin Story’ weaves through Chaplin’s modest and troubled childhood growing up in the gutters of Victorian London.

It also charts his early career on the Vaudeville stage, through the primitive years of early Hollywood and finishes with Chaplin making the breakthrough which made him a household name – in ‘The Kid.’

The creative team behind the show includes multi-award winning writer Stuart Price and hit single writer Jake Field as composer.
