Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club will perform Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the ADC Theatre this March. After being sent away to prison by the lustful Judge Turpin, Sweeney Todd returns to London in search of revenge. Every element of the production, including set and costume design, stage crew and creatives, is being run by Cambridge University students. Director Em Sparkes said: "Directing a production of 'Sweeney Todd' has been a long-term dream of mine! Christopher Bond gave Sweeney Todd a backstory and motivation in his 1970 play, which was then adapted into the musical.
