#30 Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls (HTE)


Sweeney Todd and the String of Pearls dramatized for audio by Yuri Rasovsky. Turn down the lights and get ready to jump out of your seat when whoosh the demon barber lops off his next victims head.

From HTE:

According to legend, Sweeney Todd had his barber shop at number 186 Fleet Street, London, next door to St Dunstan's Church, just a few blocks from the Royal Courts of Justice. On this site, they say, he robbed and murdered more than 150 customers. To dispose of their remains, he carried them through underground tunnels to the bakery of one Mrs. Lovett a few blocks away, where they supplied the stuffing for her meat pies, the favorite mid-day repast of the lawyers who worked nearby and who got their shaves from Sweeney Todd. The man you lunched with yesterday could be your lunch today!
