Sweeney Todd (Theatre)
Location:Ashton Theatre, Shrewsbury School
Time:19:30:00 to 22:30:00
Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is the production of choice from Simon Talbot and his team from Shrewsbury Sixth Form College.
The music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim and this student edition has been adapted, working directly with Mr. Sondheim, to retain the dark wit and grand scope of the original work, with a few lyric and key changes.
It is described as ‘Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising. Nevertheless having a great sense of fun, with intense drama being mixed with howlingly funny moments of dark humour: audiences will find themselves laughing hysterically one moment and gasping in surprise the next.’
Based at the Ashton Theatre, Shrewsbury School, the performances start on Wednesday 31st and run until Saturday 3rd April. Tickets are available from boxoffice@ssfc.ac.uk; 01743 266803 or by calling at the College and are priced £10 (£7.50 for concessions - 16’s and under and senior citizens).
