Synopsis:

Experience the unforgettable as Charlie Chaplin's iconic film The Great Dictator comes to

the stage, brought to you by Nikolai Azzopardi Productions.

A young Barber loses his memory after fighting in a terrible war. When he’s allowed to go

back to his regular work, he learns that the country for which he risked his life has since

changed and that it now persecutes his people. This is largely thanks to a warmongering

Dictator with a chip on his shoulder.

Jamie Cardona plays both The Jewish Barber and Adenoid Hynkel, the vicious dictator,

showing how the same person has the potential for great evil as well as great courage to do

what is right.

With the help of old allies and new friends, the Barber resists his oppressors until a stroke of

luck enables him to share his values with the world.​
