“When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.”
– Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The newly-widowed Mrs Lovett needs to find a way to survive. Using the skills she learned from her whaler father, Eleanor “recalibrates”.
An origin story set before she encounters Sweeney Todd, we discover what ultimately led her to turn his victims into pies.
You may think you already know Mrs. Lovett, but this new play invites you to dig into what made her: the brutal choices of a life in poverty.
When the difference is life or death, morality becomes a moveable feast… and Eleanor is getting hungry.
