Everyman Theatre

Everyman is excited to bring Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd to this year's Open Air Theatre Festival. Packed with Sondheim's characteristic wit and dark humour, Sweeney Todd is a heart-pounding, entertaining musical thriller.

The plot follows the 'Demon Barber of Fleet Street' as he returns to London from Australia. Now an ex-convict, he seeks revenge on those who separated him from his wife and child.

Prompted by the delightful Mrs Lovett, his victims become the fresh ingredients for her meat pies, boosting flagging sales but leading to a terrifying conclusion.

Acclaimed as Sondheim's masterpiece, this razor sharp tale of vengeance and true love features some of the finest song writing ever seen on the stage.
