Please keep in mind that the twin-like connection between the two Charlies is a frightening reality, which must not be repeated, or replicated, except in the safe environment of the Fringe. This is a World Premiere featuring award-winning Kevin Short. Last year, Kevin won 5-Star reviews for his portrayal in Beckett's ‘Krapp's Last Tape', and in previous years has won Best New Play, Spirit of the Fringe Awards, and Total Theatre Nominations.
