"Sweeney Todd PART THREE" by Thomas Peckett Prest & James Malcolm Rymer

In Part THREE of "Sweeney Todd" the demon barber escapes from the lapidary only to find himself in a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Meanwhile, Colonel Jefferey consults his friend Captain Rathbone over the missing Thornhill, last seen alive at Todd's barber shop. This is an audio presentation of "Sweeney Todd", adapted from the original penny dreadful "The String of Pearls" (1846-47) (attributed to Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer) by Jasper L'Estrange.

This is the third part of a continuing series. New episodes will be posted over the coming months.

About the episode:

This is an adaptation of "The String of Pearls" by Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer (1846-1847) first serialised 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.
