Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street By Stephen Sondheim

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics as one of Stephen Sondheim’s most powerful scores, this black comedy concerns the infamous homicidal career of Sweeney, the unjustly exiled barber who returns to 19th century London seeking revenge against the lecherous judge who coveted his young wife and falsely imprisoned him.

Cheated of his revenge against the Judge, Sweeney’s thirst for blood soon expands to include his unfortunate customers and - with the aid of his razor - he exacts a far more terrible revenge, cheerfully helped by Mrs Lovett, who is delighted to give new life to her flavourless meat pies!

Sweeney Todd promises to be popular, mixing intense drama with dark humour; audiences find themselves laughing one moment, and gasping in surprise at the next.

Performed over 9 nights by a cast of 50 directed by Jim Crawley, accompanied by a live orchestral ensemble led by Joseph Buckler, Sweeney Todd is produced by Jen Matravers with choreography guided by Lorraine Ahern.
