Sweeney Todd Plot To give you a clue about Sweeney Todd, some productions used the title Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It seems Benjamin Barker, wrongly imprisoned in Victorian England for a crime he didnt commit, wants revenge. Barker (lusciously played by Depp) becomes Sweeney Todd and opens a Fleet Street barber shop. While he was in jail his wife and child experienced violence at the hand of the horrific judge (Alan Rickman), adding fuel to Barkers fire. He gives his clients such complete shaves that once they enter the shop, they are never seen again; at least in the same shape they went in. Thanks to Sweeney Todds accomplice, the evilly scary Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) they end up in meat pies. Joining this perfectly cast lineup are Timothy Spall as the judges cohort, and Sacha Baron Cohen as Barkers tonsorial competition. In the frequent style of Burton-Depp collaboration, Sweeney Todd is both eerie and fun. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp Fans of Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Corpse Bride will walk not run to Sweeney Todd. For those new to the partnership, youre in for a tasty surprise as these two brilliant and unorthodox unite once again to bring us some terrific entertainment.
