Theatre on the Square presents Wêla Kapela’s The Tramp

From the creators of the multi-award-winning Vincent – His Quest to Love and Be Loved, Wêla Kapela Productions returns with a bold and captivating new pocket musical: The Tramp, premiering at Theatre on the Square in Sandton.

The Tramp is a theatrical gem that reimagines the life of Charlie Chaplin through the eyes of his beloved alter ego — The Tramp — that endearing, bowler-hatted gentleman who captured hearts around the globe.

The life of Chaplin is closely woven through his beloved Tramp character where the line between comedy and tragedy is often blurred. The story begs the question: who came first? Charlie or The Tramp? Accompanied by a timeless soundscape of honkey-tonk music and some musical numbers composed by Chaplin himself, among others.

This 85-minute two-hander, featuring Daniel Anderson and Paul Ferreira, is helmed by acclaimed director Amanda Bothma, and promises a whirlwind ride of laughter, heartbreak, and revelation.
