It is England in the 1830s. London's dockside is teeming with ships and sailors who have made their fortune in foreign lands. Sweeney Todd, a Fleet Street barber, awaits the arrival of men whose first port of call is for a good, close shave. For most it will be the last time they are seen alive. Using a specially designed barber's chair, Sweeney Todd despatches his victims to the cellar below, where he robs them of their new found fortunes and chops their remains into small pieces. Meanwhile, Mrs Lovett is enjoying a roaring trade for her popular penny meat pies.

    This typically over-the-top vehicle for Britain's favourite menace sees Tod Slaughter take on the role of the infamous cropper on London's Fleet Street. The story is recounted by one of his successors to a new customer; regaling him with the tale of "Sweeney Todd" and his habit of dropping his newly shorn clients through a trap door into a cellar below where, once duly dispatched, they are robbed then provided to neighbour "Mrs. Lovatt" (Stella Rho) as ingredients in one of her delicious pies. It's a fun, theatrical romp that cannot fail to make you smile - and is about a terrifying as "Bambi"
