London, 1846: successful barber, Sweeney Todd, has for years been haunted by the loss of his parents at the hands of a cruel Judge. One fateful night, his path crosses with local baker, Mrs. Lovett, a woman who too has suffered a devastating miscarriage of justice by the same judge and his corrupt associates. Scheming to put a deadly end to the cycle of abuse and exploitation, Todd and Lovett make a pact, and it is her that leads the charge in seeking a bloody revenge, in the most macabre of ways.

"Revenge is a cut-throat business."

Slice em, kill em, stick em in a pie – it’s Sweeney Todd!

We all know the tale, but this retelling of the barber of fleet street is different. Grieving his parent’s death by a corrupt judge, Sweeney Todd allies with Mrs. Lovett, also wronged by the same judge.

Terry Bird is outstanding as our title character. Instead of portraying a cold-blooded killer, he’s a vigilante seeking to avenge the wrongs of the past and it’s clear his conscious weighs heavy.

Jo Dyson is great as Mrs Lovett, capturing that...
