The Demon Barber archiveWelcome to 18th century London. Need a shave or a haircut? Is that a boil needing lanced? The city's greatest barber surgeon is waiting here at your pleasure. His shop may be small, but he's got racks crammed with SCISSORS and RAZORS still warm to the TOUCH. There are spit-covered jars with freshly pulled teeth and pots full of blood he's just let. He has wigs made of skin and real human hair and a black fingernail mirrored comb. And there for your comfort and ease is a lone barber's chair. Please ignore the stench rising up from that creaky trap door and observe over here, attracting the flies, cooling down by the window a fresh meat pie. Come in, sit back and close your eyes. If you like your comedy dark and your music macabre come along to be surprised and delighted with a specially commissioned production that will re-tell the tale of Sweeney Todd who robbed and murdered his victims, baked them in a pie then sold them back to their loved ones. This production is fantastically gruesome, so the squeamish be warned!
