Sweeney Todd
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
After an amazing run at the Chichester Festival Theatre, Sweeney Todd transfers to the West End.
Laced with characteristically brilliant wit and dark humour, it tells of the
return to a nineteenth century London of Sweeney Todd, after years of false
imprisonment, and his savage quest for justice and retribution. Aided and
abetted by the pie-shop owner, Mrs Lovett, he sets out to avenge the wrongs done
to him and his family many years before.
Combining horror with the English music hall, Sweeney Todd is a fascinating
portrait of a man driven to madness by injustice and grief.
