“He’s a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely soul forever
hopeful of romance and adventure. He would have you believe he is a scientist,
a musician, a duke or a polo player. Yet he is not above picking up cigarette
butts or stealing a baby’s candy. And, should the moment demand it, he might
even kick a lady in the rear but only in extreme anger.”
The Tramp, a new mini-musical and winner of the Naledi Theatre Award for Best Performance in a Cabaret, Revue or Small-Scale Musical (Daniel Anderson), tells the story of Charlie Chaplin through the eyes of his most beloved creation, the Little Tramp himself.
In this imaginative and poignant production, the Tramp reflects on Chaplin’s rise to fame, their symbiotic relationship, and the betrayal that ultimately led to his exile.
Blending humour with pathos, the show explores themes of identity, loyalty and the blurred line between creator and creation. Through evocative storytelling, music and movement, The Tramp offers a fresh and deeply human perspective on one of cinema’s most iconic figures.
There is only one performance: May 9, 2026, at 14h00 in The Playhouse Drama Theatre.
