Sweeny Todd the Musical, from stage to screen - a discussion
Stage director John Cumberlidge discusses the difference in approach when tackling a well known piece like Sweeny Todd. When Hollywood turns its attentions to the classics how does this effect the approach of future stage adeptations. What are the audience's expectations and how does a director go about re-inventing the work for a live experience? Talk is followed by a screening of Sweeny Todd (£5 and £3.50 concessions)
Talk £2.50 including pie
Stoke Film Theatre 6.00pm
Included in the price for the talk (£2.50) is a special Sweeny Todd pie which will be served after the talk and prior to the screening. Pies are sponsored by Pieminister - get 'em whilst they're hot!
