"They will remember Sweeney Todd when all of you have been forgotten!" cries the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. His name provokes delicious shudders still - now, if you dare, return to the penny dreadful where his legend was born. An apprentice finds himself in peril when he learns why people keep going missing in his master's shop; a young woman dons a disguise to find out the fate of her lover at sea; and in the cellar of a cheerful piemaker's shop, a prisoner discovers the terrible truth of what goes inside the flaky crust. Based on The String of Pearls, the story that was Sweeney's debut, Sweeney Todd: On the Razor's Edge is a melodrama that takes you into the cobblestone streets of London for a thrilling adventure.
