Boondog 'Lovett'

Newly-widowed Mrs Lovett needs to find a way to survive. Using skills learned from a whaler father, a courtesan mother and a butcher husband, Eleanor “recalibrates” her life - and her relationship with God. An origin story set before her infamous partnership with Sweeney Todd, we discover what would later lead her to turn pie-maker. You may think you already know Mrs. Lovett, but this new play explores what made her: the brutal choices and disappointments of a life in poverty. When the difference is life or death, morality becomes a moveable feast - and Eleanor is getting hungry… “_One of the most relentless, compelling pieces of work at the Fringe…. An extraordinarily powerful hour”_ - Broadway Baby _“An entirely disarming performance, precise, committed and unflinching…. This production is one that you can really sink your teeth into”_ - Binge Fringe _“This brilliant script, paired with even more powerful acting, had me mesmerised…. As exciting and captivating as the biggest of productions”- _Radio Exe ABOUT BOONDOG THEATRE: BoonDog Theatre is a multi award-winning collaborative theatre company based in the Midlands, creating exciting new stories for the stage. Creative Director Lucy Roslyn and Productions Director Jamie Firth focus on making intimate, character driven pieces working with a team of collaborators from various disciplines to bring them to the stage, telling stories that start conversations that last long beyond the audience leave the theatre.
