Adolf

There is no need to go into the amazingly delivered, wholly repugnant and ultimately compelling words in this absorbing one man show. We all know Hitler, the beliefs, actions and words that were given to the party faithful before heading into his bunker and final downfall. Suffice to say that writer and performer Pip Utton has chillingly perfected Hitler´s mannered flicks and jerks, the wide open eyes that mesmerise and the studied, self-conscious flattening of that famous hair-do.

After his Adolf, we wait with great anticipation to see how Utton embodies the most famous of clowns and mimes, Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, better known simply as Chaplin. Do you suppose he chose these two characters to employ the same moustache? Anyway, get out of work early if necessary, but do catch this, the last night of Adolf, a brilliantly contrived piece of thought-provoking theatre. Chaplin will play at the same time in the same place from Thu-Sun.
