Episode 30: CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY with Charles Quittner

Published: Jan. 13, 2022, 5 a.m.

A bitter sweet adaptation of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY calls for the sweetest guest and the most scrumptious conversation with theatre director and producer Charles Quittner. We dive into Charles’ abiding love for the Tim Burton confection, as well as a look into the theatrical set design, the cynical look at labor, and how the film fits within Burton’s study of capitalism and industrialism. Join the Lasagna Time folks for a taste of a subversive take on a classic children’s tale!
