Episode 48: 'Sweeney Todd PART ONE' by Thomas Peckett Prest & James Malcolm Rymer

 

In Part ONE of "Sweeney Todd", the demon barber of Fleet Street attracts unwanted attention when a seaman mysteriously vanishes after visiting his establishment. The Captain and Colonel Jeffrey suspect foul play. Meanwhile, something sinister is happening under the streets of Temple Bar, London.

This is an audio presentation of "Sweeney Todd", adapted from "The String of Pearls" (1846-47) (attributed to Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer) by Jasper L'Estrange.

This is the first part of a continuing series. New episodes will be posted over the coming weeks. SUBSCRIBE and never miss an episode.

About the episode: 

This is an adaptation of "The String of Pearls" by Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer (1846-1847), published in 18 weekly parts, in The People's Periodical and Family Library. For this serial I have drawn on the expanded version, the abridged version and made minor additions where appropriate.
