I just looked him up on the Intenet, and found the following 'There really was a mad barber, he really did use a trapdoor and straight razor to rob and kill customers, and most did end up as filling for meat pies. Extensive, painstaking research by British author Peter Haining has shown this without a doubt. Todd’s life and exploits are not nearly as romantic as Sondheim would have us believe, but then who would pay to see a musical about a psychopathic mass murderer unless there was more to the story? What follows is the true story of the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. There is little romantic or even melodramatic about the life and times of Sweeney Todd. He was an amoral, bitter man who lusted for money and was not averse to killing to get it. .....read more' You can read the rest at www(.)crimelibrary(.)com/serial9/sweeney I've gone off pies after watching it !! |

Hi Roxanne Thanks for the reminder. Nearly forgot it was on. Love Ray Winstone. Read that he is excellent in the part. Years since I read Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Scared the life out of me back then. If I remember, the character is purely fictional. Enjoy |
