Have Box Will Travel

Have Box Will Travel is the autobiographical one-man show from poet, musician and DJ Charlie Dark. This is a show that will appeal to anyone who loves music, or has ever had a dream of a life beyond the mundane. Have Box Will Travel takes the audience on a journey from a tiny bedroom in South London to spinning records in some of the biggest clubs in the world. With witty, sharp and frequently moving dialogue, Charlie Dark chronicles his life and times, from the emergence of the definitive Hip Hop culture he has lived and loved to the onset of fatherhood.

Focusing on his musical inspirations and growing up under the watchful eye of a Ghanaian mother, Have Box Will Travel is delivered straight from the heart, recalling the ups and down of a life in music, vivid club anecdotes and the competitive dance floors where only the skilled survive.

With slick production from Hip-Hop theatre pioneer Benji Reid, Have Box Will Travel is complemented by classic grooves from icons such as Public Enemy, Roy Ayres and John Coltrane amongst others.
