Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Bradley J McDowell first took an interest to acting on stage when he appeared as the main villain in a pantomime when he was 14 for his school. He continued his work with Emmaus Christian School's drama stream and appeared in both following productions written and directed by John Jenkins. He would go on to receive the Excellence in Drama award for his graduating Year 10 class of 2012. Bradley also appeared in a number of Lights! Canberra! Action! short film finalists since 2013.
When at college, Bradley pursued his acting and had leading roles as Mercutio in Gungahlin College's 'Romeo and Juliet' and as Nick Piazza in 'Fame: The Musical'. It was at college where he met Dr. Duncan Driver who offered him a role in Everyman Theatre's 2014 production, 'The Burning'. In 2015, he appeared in Canberra REP's 'Casanova' and 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Last year, he played the eccentric playwright, Philip Montague, in 'Play On!' and made a special guest appearance as Mr. Renaldi in Supa Production's 'Funny Girl', both performed at The Q.
This is Bradley's first show with Dramatic Productions and he is stoked to be performing once again in his home theatre.
