The Great Dictator
Stage Beyond's unique performance of ‘The Great Dictator’ at the Millennium Forum on June 15th 2022, was a resounding success. We are hugely appreciative of everyone involved in our 'stellar performance' based on the Charlie Chaplin masterpiece. We also look forward to a special re-run in The Studio in the autumn. This will enable those valued cast members who were unable to take part due to unforeseen circumstances, to perform their original roles for invited guests.
