Lovett – The Weston Studio of Bristol Old Vic
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…
Lovett will be in The Weston Studio of Bristol Old Vic 16 – 20 September 2025
