Stephen Sondheim’s deliciously daring musical masterpiece invites audiences to attend the tale of a father’s delightful descent into darkness, as he seeks to set right the wrongs that wrecked his life. Along the way, they will meet the many shifting residents of Victorian London who all want their own slice of life’s pie.
This Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club student production will turn the award-winning musical inward, looking at it through the lens of Sweeney’s psyche and staging OBERON as Fleet Street and London locales, and as a projection of Sweeney Todd’s mind. Audience members, as figments of Sweeney’s imagination, will be first-hand witnesses to the splendor of his carnage.
