GEORGE ENTERTAINMENT - The George Society of Arts Theatre is set to transport audiences to the shadowy streets of Victorian London with its upcoming production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

This acclaimed musical, filled with suspense, drama, and unforgettable songs, will run from 29 October to 8 November.

The gripping story follows Sweeney Todd, a barber returning from wrongful imprisonment, who seeks revenge in the most chilling way.
