Returning to London after wrongful imprisonment, a barber hell-bent on revenge sets out to enact his own justice with a clean-cut shave.

DULOG presents the legendary tale of ‘Sweeney Todd’, a grippingly gothic Sondheim musical that’ll tip you to the edge of your seat. Upon returning to London fifteen years after his wrongful exile, the reinvented Sweeney Todd takes up his old barber shop above Mrs Lovett’s pie shop. Faced with revelations of his past, the two work together to add a deadly secret ingredient to her pies.
