For over 100 years, Charlie Chaplin has been the world’s best-loved clown. His brilliant comic creation of "The Little Tramp" is the most recognisable cinematic icon in history. But his remarkable story to stardom and success had a humble beginning. Raised in the merciless poverty of a Victorian slum, Charlie never knew the security of a normal family. Raised by his unstable mother, and abandoned by his alcoholic father, Charlie was thrown at the mercy of the workhouse. Desperate to escape his fragile existence on the streets of South London, Charlie became captivated by the shining lights of music hall, and gradually began to see a path to salvation. A way to make the world laugh. Critically-acclaimed Arrows & Traps return with a brilliantly vibrant and heartfelt musical experience about the relationship between experience and creativity, and invite you to discover how Chaplin spun personal tragedy into universal comedy, in a moving and joyful exploration of one of the world’s most remarkable lives
