Sweeney
Todd was written by Steven Sondheim and appropriately it was the 75th anniversary
of his birth this year.
This show was performed at the Malvern Festival Theatre, Worcs, from Tuesday
18th to Saturday 22nd October 2005, and was our 50th show at Malvern!
The show tells the
story of 'Benjamin Barker', now known as Sweeney Todd, who returns home
from Botany Bay to find his wife gone and daughter 'adopted'. Taking his
sorrows out on the world, he slits the throats of the customers in his
Barber shop and sends their bodies down to the pie shop below, where Mrs
Lovett makes them into the 'best pies in town'.
