Sweeney Todd Brings Grand Guignol Influence to Lawrence Stage
Lawrence Arts Center artistic director Averill previews Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street a 1979 Broadway hit infused with Grand Guignol horror. He cites Brechtian narration and a macabre, visceral style, promising blood but not gratuitous violence, with a strong, classically trained cast led by Mark Rector as Sweeney Todd.
