darchildreSo...we got a poster in our library shipment yesterday advertising a production of Sweeney Todd being put on on Bainbridge. The student version, apparently. It's rated PG - says so right on the poster.
I find myself oddly tempted to go. On one hand, I love Sweeney Todd with an undying affection that's actually a little disturbing to people around me. And, on the other hand, I am incredibly intrigued by the idea of a PG-rated production. I mean, what are you left with? Is Lucy's backstory the same? Do we leave in all the dirty jokes? I imagine we could probably leave in the murder-and-cannibalism but can we still actually show anything onstage? Can the Judge still...do anything at all? How do we end the play?
So many questions! The prospect fills one with curiosity and fear, doesn't it?
I think I will have to get tickets.
