Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in Concert
Directed by Lonny Price
Produced by Ellen M. Krass Productions, KQED
A dark, musically driven revenge tragedy set in Victorian London, where a wronged barber's descent into serial murder is framed as both theatrical spectacle and moral reckoning.
In 1846, Anthony Hope sails into London with the mysterious Sweeney Todd, a once-naive barber whose life and marriage was uprooted by a corrupt justice system. Todd confides in Nellie Lovett, the owner of a local meat pie shop, and the two become partners, as Todd swears revenge on those that have wronged him and decides to take up his old profession.
