This production reimagines Sweeney Todd as a dark, gripping tale told during a Newfoundland kitchen party in the early 1970s. A tight-knit ensemble transforms into storytellers, weaving a narrative of revenge, love, and obsession. Rooted in Newfoundland's tradition of exaggerated, humorous, and dark storytelling, the community becomes complicit in the events, highlighting their role in witnessing and perpetuating cycles of violence and injustice. Through their rich culture and traditions, the storytellers blend haunting melodies with the warmth of a coastal community. The kitchen party becomes a gateway, pulling everyone into the sinister depths of Fleet Street. Haunting, thrilling, and surprisingly communal, this Sweeney Todd will keep audiences on the edge of their seats as the world transforms around them.
