An Audience with Charles Manson is a zany, darkly comic world premiere about a British man called Charlie who discovers an uncanny and unsettling affinity with his infamous American namesake — a twin-like connection he must confront in the only safe place available: the Edinburgh Fringe. The result is a madcap, helter-skelter ride through obsession and madness, featuring a performer whose previous stage work has earned Spirit of the Fringe Awards and Total Theatre nominations.
Why see this show?
Boldly strange and darkly funny, this world premiere takes a genuinely unusual premise somewhere unexpected. With a performer who has real Fringe pedigree at the helm, this is weird, brave theatre at an accessible price — an easy punt that might just surprise you.
