Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
|
Buy Tickets |
The recent Tim Burton movie starred Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham-Carter as the partners in gore. Adam Eliot and Hannah Smith lend their gifted voices to the merchants of mayhem. Anton Kaduck is a revelation as the hanging judge. Megan Ready-Walters and her sweet soprano voice makes her the perfect ingenue. The Gothic church that is The Wellington Street Theatre is the perfect environment for Fleet Street and its sordid neighbourhood. Adam Eliot's Sweeney Todd arrives back in England after being unjustly sentenced for crimes he did not commit. All he ever loved has been taken from him and he is looking for revenge. He falls in with Hannah Smith's Mrs. Lovett, and between them they go on a murderous spree, which ultimately consumes them in the fires of hate.

Til the Boys Come Home
'Til The Boys Come Home' is a look at the dark clouds hanging over small town Canada when war is declared in 1939. The play is told in six scenes by the ensemble cast, as it follows the lives of teenaged boys and girls who are affected by the ultimate dramatic conflict. There is music, dance, and warfare to go with the acting. It is easy to think with teenage actors that they are age inappropriate, too young to play the parts of soldiers and young working women, as Hollywood tends to use older established stars to play the parts of soldiers. But many young Canadians gave their lives before they had even started living, before they had a chance to get married, have kids and careers. I suppose that with death as the ultimate event in everyone's lives, glory on the battlefield allows one to choose their last act. Today most of the veterans who survived the war have gone on to join their comrades, to renew acquaintances in the Elysian Fields. **battle scenes and loud noises may be disturbing to some patrons*
Offered at the Wellington Street Theatre, 126 Wellington Street at Johnson. Please use the Johnson Street entrance. Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:00 and runs approximately 2 hours, plus a 15 minute intermission.

Little Red Riding Hood has been given the task of taking some goodies to Grandmother's house, but she is warned not to take the path through the woods, because it is not safe. She sets off with her friendly dog, Scruffy, who is not very well trained. Scruffy chases off into the woods after a squirrel, and Red must follow to get him back.
Red Riding Hood meets many forest creatures while she is searching for Scruffy; Wanda the Weeping Willow and her nemesis, the Woodsman, his brother, Eric, and one hungry wolf!
"You know, I'm not really a big bad wolf. As you can see, I am not very big."
"Oh? What about bad? Are you very bad?"
"Nobody's perfect."
