‘When hip-hop culture is so often accessorised with bling and ego, Dark's simple honesty and passion are in their own understated way an inspiration... This is the true story of the rise and fall of a super DJ. Dark is a performer of such enormous natural charm, resistance is useless.’ The Times

‘Dark won over everyone with his easy charm and ability... 90 minutes with real soul and a reminder that, when in a tank full of piranhas, you don't have to act like fish food.’ The Guardian

‘A killer soundtrack... Have Box Will Travel is a fun lesson in Hip Hop 101 .' Time Out

It’s hard being the king of the turntables when you live in South London and your African mother doesn’t understand her Hip from her Hop.

Charlie Dark’s new show Have Box Will Travel
is a rites of passage story that takes you from a bedroom in South London, round the world, and back again, with life-changing tracks and slick direction from Hip Hop theatre favourite Benji Reid.

Charlie Dark is a dynamic part of the UK’s poetry
and performance scene as a writer, producer
and DJ known for his flamboyant gestures and vocal gymnastics. Charlie founded Blacktronica, a monthly showcase of the Black electronic music scene in Britain.
