  3. The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel


In 1910 Fred Karno’s famous music hall troupe set sail for New York. Part of the company were two unknown young men, Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel.

On this transatlantic journey, Charlie and Stan shared a cabin and then spent almost two years together touring North America, with Stan as Charlie’s understudy. Stan returned home to England, later finding success in the USA with his soulmate Oliver Hardy. Charlie developed his Little Tramp character and within five years became one of the most famous figures in the world.

In Charlie Chaplin’s highly detailed autobiography Stan Laurel is never mentioned.

Stan talked about Charlie all his life.

Performed without words in Told by an Idiot’s highly acclaimed visual style and with silent film captions in English, the show looks at an unknown period in comic history when two maverick imaginations collided for a brief time. Playing fast and loose with the facts and with an original piano score composed by Mercury Award Nominee Zoe Rahman played live each night, The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel is no nostalgic bio-drama, but a hilarious and deeply moving homage to two English men who changed the world of comedy forever.

You thought you knew more or less what to expect but, somehow, the entire show turned out to be a very refreshing surprise. Two days ago, the Théâtre des Capucins opened its doors to The Strange Tale of Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel, a Told by an Idiot production, written and directed by Paul Hunter.
