Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd, the age-old story of the murderous barber of Fleet Street, London. Set in the 19th century, the play follows the journey of barber Sweeney Todd as he sets off on a path of revenge after a judge kills his wife, kidnaps his daughter and frames him for a crime he didn’t commit. Upon his return to London, he sets up above a meat pie shop, where he offs his victims and then sends their bodies to be baked into the meat pies below. The show is being put on by Athens Creative Theatre and hosted by the historic Morton Theatre. The show will be performed Nov. 16–18 at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at mortontheatre.com or by phone at 706-613-3771 for reserved seating.
