Taking Charlie

In 1978 two Eastern European unemployed auto-mechanics kidnapped and ransomed the body of Charlie Chaplin in order to set up their very own garage.

Taking Charlie is a dark comic fantasy based on this real life very bad idea, and will leave the audience with two useful life lessons; firstly don’t dig up dead comedians, and secondly when you’re face to face with a powerful idiot there’s only one thing to do…laugh.
