SWEENEY TODD
Birmingham Ormiston Academy
November 2016
Dir: Laura Johnson
Choreo: Lee Crowley
Des: Sam Oates
Lighting: Andrew Exeter
"Cheated of his revenge against the judge, Sweeney's thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers, and - with the aid of his razor - he exacts a far more terrible revenge, cheerfully helped by Mrs Lovett, who is delighted to give new life to her flavourless meat pies! Sophisticated, macabre, visceral and uncompromising, Sweeney Todd mixes intense drama with dark humour. Year 13 Musical Theatre students in collaboration with BOA Technical Theatre Arts students have re-imagined this challenging black comedy for a contemporary audience."
