The Adventurer | 1917 | 27 minutes
One of Charlie Chaplin’s most exhilarating and comedic short films, showcasing an early portrayal of Chaplin’s iconic Little Tramp character as an escaped convict. Opening with a thrilling prison escape, the film launches into a fast-paced series of chases, close calls and physical gags that highlight Chaplin’s extraordinary athleticism and impeccable comic timing. Set against seaside backdrops and high-society pretensions, The Adventurer blends slapstick chaos with sharp social satire. Bursting with energy, romance and laugh-out-loud moments, this classic silent film is a masterclass in visual storytelling and remains a joyful introduction to Chaplin’s early film career.

Sally Ford: voice, flutes, alto sax
Patrick Cronin: programming, synth, trombone, whistling
Michael Havir: keyboards, electronic FX
Alice Garner: cello, mandolin
plus special guests
