THE TRAMP’S NEW WORLD
Presented by Diogenes Theatre
June 3-13
Downtown

Written, adapted by and featuring Rob Jansen

THE TRAMP’S NEW WORLD is a multi-disciplinary theatrical work combining projection, physical comedy, music, cinema and silent film technique. This one-man show adapts Pulitzer Prize Winner James Agee’s lost tragicomic screenplay following Charlie Chaplin’s “Tramp” character as the lone survivor of a super-atomic blast.

In his office atop the 50th floor of the Chrysler building, legendary Time Magazine writer Agee furiously writes a screenplay he hopes that Chaplin’s studios will finally accept. Struggling to write his epic film, we watch as Agee casts himself into the story, playing the childlike Tramp contending for survival amidst the backdrop of a ruined New York City.
