todd
(the demon barber of fleet street)
Created by Karl Wallace & Conor Mitchell
Directed By: Karl Wallace
Production Premiere: March 2004
A physical, comic and thrilling tale of blood lust set in Eighteenth Century London.
Based on the old Penny Dreadful stories of the late 1830’s, TODD is a musical tale of a barber with more than a passing interest in the ‘cut-throat shave’ and ‘short back and sides’.
Five actor-musicians play a host of characters and musical instruments in this updated bloody tale where unsuspecting customers disappear without trace only to end up in MEAT PIES!
