Sweeney Todd inviger Twickenhams nya teaterscen

A new 100 seat theatre will launch in September in West London with the Stephen Sondheim musical Sweeney Todd. Based above the London Road pub,The Twickenham Theatre is the brainchild of theatre producer Tony Green. “By offering a new dedicated venue for quality theatre and other entertainment we can give locals the opportunity to experience some of the West End on their doorstep, and Londoners a reason to come to Twickenham,” he said. Sweeney director, Derek Anderson says: “By setting the production in the intimate confines of Twickenham Theatre’s fascinating space with an ensemble cast and some clever staging, we can present Sondheim’s grizzly masterpiece as the claustrophobically close, blood-curdling, musical thriller it truly is; and enable the diabolical intricacy of Sondheim’s lyrics to come to the forefront.”
