Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls
Adapted by
Doug Goheen
CLASSIC HORROR.
Last seen at Sweeney Todd’s barbershop on Fleet
Street, Lieutenant Thornhill has mysteriously gone
missing. Thornhill was on his way to deliver a
valuable string of pearls to Johanna Oakley on
behalf of her fiancé who was thought to be lost at
sea. Suspecting Todd had something to do with
Thornhill’s disappearance, Johanna disguises herself
as a boy and works undercover as Todd’s assistant.
In the meantime, unbeknownst to Johanna, her fiancé
has been imprisoned by Todd’s friend, Mrs. Lovett,
in a cellar beneath her pie shop. Todd’s murderous
activities are finally uncovered when the smell of
decaying bodies from a crypt under St. Dunstan’s
church tips off authorities to Todd’s grisly
crimes. A specially constructed barber chair
propels Todd’s victims through
a trapdoor into the basement, where he slits their
throats with a straight razor. Todd then robs his
victims of their valuables and drags their bodies
through an underground tunnel to Mrs. Lovett’s shop,
where the bodies are butchered, made into meat pies,
and sold to unsuspecting customers.
Adapted from the 1846-47 The String of Pearls: A
Romance. |
