A
Musical Thriller
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh
Wheeler
From an Adaptation by Christopher Bond
Ghostlight
Theatre is excited to present Stephen Sondheim’s classic version of a
tale that started life in 1830s London as a ‘penny dreadful’ broadsheet,
recounting the tale of Sweeney, a psychopath who killed for profit and Mrs
Lovett, a harridan who baked the bodies into pies. Capturing the popular
taste for melodrama, it soon became a play performed in the London ‘blood
tubs’; theatres devoted to sensationalist repertoire.
Out of
such strange origins, Sondheim and librettist Hugh Wheeler have woven a
stunning musical that is both dark and hilarious, and in the enthusiastic
hands of this talented cast and creative team, it is certain to entertain
and thrill.
