“Sweeney Todd” Plot
To provide a glimpse into "Sweeney Todd," some productions have used the title "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street." The story follows Benjamin Barker, wrongfully imprisoned in Victorian England, seeking vengeance. Barker (brilliantly portrayed by Depp) becomes Sweeney Todd and opens a barber shop on Fleet Street. During his imprisonment, his wife and child suffered at the hands of a corrupt judge (Alan Rickman), intensifying Barker's desire for revenge. In his shop, clients receive such comprehensive shaves that they are never seen again in the same form. Thanks to Todd's partner-in-crime, the sinister Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), they end up in meat pies. The stellar cast also includes Timothy Spall as the judge's associate and Sacha Baron Cohen as Barker’s rival barber. In typical Burton-Depp collaboration style, "Sweeney Todd" is both eerie and entertaining.
