Cutting comedy
Opening night is fast approaching for the dark comedy‘Sweeney Todd’ at the Dunblane Centre next week.
Director Pamela Mackie said: “The cast has been working incredibly hard.
“It’s a difficult show to learn but it sounds fantastic and we can guarantee a great night of theatre and entertainment.”
Sweeney Todd is the tale of a barber who uses his razor to takes revenge on those who wronged him. The bodies are baked into meat pies and sold to the unsuspecting public.
Pamela said:“Perhaps Stephen Sondheim’s most perfect score,‘Sweeney Todd’is lush, operatic and full of soaring beauty, pitch-black comedy and stunning terror.
“It’s one of the most remarkable achievements in musical theatre of the last 50 years.
“Friday night is sold out, with only a few tickets left for Saturday night.”
There are shows at 7.30pm every night from Wednesday to Saturday next week, with a 2pm matinee on the Saturday.
Tickets, priced £13, are available from the Dunblane Centre or online at www.theatreindunblane.co.uk.
There will be a bar and a combination of single seating and cabaret-style tables.
