Mrs Lovett runs what sort of business?
——————————————————————–
It’s 19th-century London and Sweeney Todd finally returns home after 15 years in an Australian penal colony, seeking vengeance against the corrupt Judge who destroyed his life. Hearing his wife is dead and his daughter is now the Judge’s ward; Todd reopens his barber shop above Mrs. Lovett’s struggling meat pie business. Here, his initial pursuit for revenge spirals into a murderous rampage against society. Forming an advantageous partnership with an opportunistic Mrs. Lovett, this much-lauded, macabre operatic thriller excitedly draws audiences towards an electrifying and gruesome conclusion.
One of the most celebrated musicals of the twentieth century, Sweeney Todd is a savage and chilling exploration of greed, injustice, and the thirst for revenge. This robust reimagining by Soundworks Productions plunges audiences into a Grand Guignol-inspired world where the machinery of commerce devours the powerless, where justice is a commodity only the wealthy can afford, and where one man’s destruction becomes his grotesque obsession. Coupled with Sondheim’s extraordinary score, this latest offering by the multi-award-winning company has never felt more relevant.
