Sweeney Todd
Attend the tale…
Cygnet Players are excited to be performing Sweeney Todd, the dark and witty account of a wronged barber who grows increasingly fixated on gory retribution for crimes against his family, aided by his adoring – and resourceful – accomplice, Mrs Lovett, who runs a questionable eatery on Fleet Street.
Set against the grimy backdrop of 19th century London, Wheeler’s book and Sondheim’s chilling score immerse us in a story of love, murder and revenge. Winner of 8 Tony awards (including Best Musical), Sweeney Todd is a tasty theatrical treat that will send a shiver down your spine and leave you looking at pies in a very different light…
