Sweeney Todd: On the Razor's Edge
by Michael Bigelow Dixon, Jon Jory
Synopsis
“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.
