"There is a hole in the world." A deep abyss gapes in the world - between top and bottom, rich and poor, people and their humanity. After years of unlawful exile, barber Sweeney Todd returns to London's Fleet Street under a false name to take revenge on Judge Turpin, who once destroyed his family. This is the prelude to an unstoppable bloodbath and a dirty business. While Sweeney's razor takes care of one thing, the baker Mrs. Lovett then turns the remains into extremely popular meat pies.
Stephen Sondheim's dark thriller dealswith injustice and unfairness, emotional wounds and a deeply divided society, combining elements of horror literature, horror film, Grand Guignol and opera - not without comedy.
