Thinking big for a little venue, a new fringe theatre in Twickenham is opening with Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.
The new venue will have a one hundred seat auditorium and will work both as a producing and receiving house. The venue will also be available for local community groups.
A co-production by Twickenham Theatre and West End producer David Adkin, Sweeney Todd will be directed Derek Anderson who says, “By setting the production in the intimate confines of Twickenham Theatre’s fascinating space with a cast of just nine 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.”
Twickenham Theatre is a very short walk from Twickenham railway station (20 minutes from Waterloo) and benefits from being served by many bus routes and free local parking.
Sweeney Todd plays Twickenham Theatre from 10 September to 4 October.
