 DCU's Drama Society performed Sweeney Todd the musical last week. This gory thriller is about the demon barber of Fleet Street who murdered his customers. The cast involved students from all across DCU. We wanted to make a new version of Sweeney Todd and hopefully a version that people aren't familiar with and haven't seen before in their local amdram scene. So we put a concept together that hopefully is a little bit different and tells a different version of the story. Still we're all the same songs but with a new design. I just thought he was a good character. I kind of played the villain in a few different things so it was kind of just kind of a natural choice for me to go for that on Sweeney Todd. So yeah, he steals Sweeney Todd's wife and then that kind of leads to the whole plot so I won't go into too much detail. Misses love it. I just think she's absolutely insane and the thought of playing somebody that crazy, like I've never played someone that absolutely wild and psychotic before. And I just really wanted to give it a go. Maybe release some inner demon. He's just such a diverse character. He's not a character that you see very often, especially in musicals. There's a lot of like, even the musical there's a lot of symbolism and like, it's just a really interesting story and it's kind of a fun character to play to like, you know, be an evil person but you still kind of empathize with them as well. That's really good. It doesn't seem like it's amateur or like, it's really good. They play really well. It's really entirely so good as a lead. Love it. Yeah, really enjoying it. That was Sweeney Todd with a twist here at St Patrick's Campus at DCU. An amazing production, well worth all the time and effort that has gone into it. I'm Ola O'Driscoll and this is DCU TV News.
