Story3.5 out of 5 stars 19
Our story begins in 1785 when a young seafarer, Captain Thornhill, disappears while visiting the shop of a barber in London, a certain Sweeney Todd whose shop in Fleet Street is situated by St. Dunstan's church, just round the corner from the famous and popular meat pie shop run by Mrs. Lovett. Thornhill was carrying a string of pearls as a gift for Johanna Oakley, the sweetheart of his friend Mark Ingestrie who is missing, presumed lost at sea.

Narrator Nightmare
Reviewed: 01-19-22
This narrator is nearly impossible to listen to. Her voice is so irritating, so grating, that I can't follow the story I so love. Her tone and inflection are such that they distract from the words and cause me to entirely lose the story.
