About the Show

Susan Batson Studio presents a solo show about silent film star Charlie Chaplin.

Written and performed by Asier Kintana, 'Chaplin' chronicles the early career of the icon, whose genius was born out of his poverty, solitude, and pain. The play travels from 1917 to 1939 as he grapples with his inner demons, struggles to defend his art, and wrestles with his relationship with his mother, who had an enormous influence on his creativity and personality.
