Review: SOLO FEST at Theatre Arts Provides a Mouth-Watering Taste of Future One-Person Shows
SOLO FEST was created with the intention to “make more spaces for more south African stories to be told, more often”. Indeed, theatre-maker Sophie Joans explains, “Everyone has a story to tell. The hard part is getting started. I wanted to create a weekly structured space for people to come together and write in community, to explore their stories, and share them with others. So our first course, ‘So, You Wanna Write a Solo Show?’ was born. I was amazed and heart-warmed at how many people signed up. And every week, each class was captivated by the stories that came out of the session. Thus, Solo Fest was born as a moment for the writers to showcase their new work.”

At the University of Utah production, director David Schmidt eschews the celebrated operatic-scale production of Hal Prince's original for Doyle's insane asylum framework storytelling. And "Sweeney Todd" becomes a deliciously macabre nightmare.
