Created and performed by Rob Jansen
Adapted from the screenplay by James Agee
Directed by Joseph Megel
December 3-19, 2015
This one-man show tracks the journey of Charlie Chaplin’s beloved “Tramp” character as the lone survivor of a super-atomic blast, and like Chaplin’s classic films it finds humor and humanity in the unlikeliest of situations. Through multidisciplinary theatrical elements – projections, physical comedy, music, and silent film — Rob Jansen brings this lost and untold cinematic tale to life.
Meet the artist at the reception following the Friday December 4 opening night performance.
Produced by Manbites Dog Theater in association with Rob Jansen
Manbites Dog Theater’s 2015-2016 season is supported by the Durham Arts Council’s Annual Arts Fund, and the North Carolina Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Resources; and by season support from the Duke University Department of Theater Studies.
