Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

In this version of the old melodrama, on which Sondheim's musical is based, Sweeney Todd returns to London to seek revenge on those who stole his life. With the assistance of the delirious Mrs. Lovett he resumes his work as a master barber with his sights (and blades) set upon the throats of his tormentors, whilst Mrs. Lovett revitalises her flagging pie shop by unusual and unsavoury means.
