St Paul's Production 2010 - Sweeney Todd

"Never forget. Never forgive"

In the Victorian London, the barber Benjamin Barker is married to the gorgeous Lucy, they have a lovely daughter, Johanna. The beauty of Lucy attracts the attention of the corrupt Judge Turpin, who falsely accuses the barber of a crime that he did not commit and sends him to Australia. Judge Turpin abuses Lucy after gaining custody of her and Johanna. After fifteen years in exile, Benjamin returns to London under the new identity of Sweeney Todd, seeking revenge against Turpin. He meets the widow Mrs. Lovett who is the owner of a meat pie shop. She tells him that his wife, Lucy, committed suicide with arsenic many years ago, and Judge Turpin was now the tutor of Johanna. Sweeney Todd opens a barber shop above Widow Lovett’s store, and together, they initiate a crime rampage against those who made Sweeny (Benjamin Barker) suffer and lose his beloved family.
