Synopsis on the website:
“Should I say something or stay silent?
Where the film ends, the real story begins. Jasper, a contemporary animator, fearful of a changing world, struggles to find inspiration for his next project. By adventuring through the world of Charlie Chaplin’s Hollywood he finds the courage he needs as he watches Chaplin boldly create his masterpiece The Great Dictator.
More than 80 years after the release of The Great Dictator, how will Chaplin speak to the chaotic world of today?
This is a unique opportunity for MAST audiences as after the show you will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the production as it is developed.
Music by Alex Parker, Lyrics by Katie Lam, Directed by Thom Southerland.
