RNIB Connect

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for another audio described theatre review.
This week we are off to London’s Fleet Street for the Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s revival of Stephen Sondheim’s musical masterpiece ‘Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ by REP Artistic Director Joe Murphy with description by Professional Audio Describer Caroline Burn.
About ‘Sweeney Todd the Demon Barber of Fleet Street’
“Swing your razor wide, Sweeney!”
Wrongfully imprisoned for 15 years, Benjamin Barker returns to Victorian London as the mysterious barber, Sweeney Todd. Upon finding out he’s lost everything he ever loved, Sweeney swears revenge and so begins a chilling tale of macabre murder and Mrs Lovett’s pies! A deliciously bloodcurdling version of Stephen Sondheim’s musical”
 
First performed on Broadway in 1979, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler‘s 12-time Tony Award-winning masterpiece is considered one of the greatest musicals ever written.
