Did you know Mr Lovett was the first pie? Or the original Penny Dreadful story of Sweeney Todd was centred around the romance of Mark Ingestrie and Joanna Oakley?

In this exciting new play reinvented by Lucia Beretta, Stage Ready transports you to the affluent City of London of 1785 where the East India Company flourishes. Watch as the lawyers from Temple Inn feast at the notorious Mrs Lovett’s Pie Shop in Bell Yard, before wandering down Fleet Street to Todd’s, where he’s all too happy to lighten their pockets and polish ‘em off!

Will Joanna and Mark ever be reunited? And what will become of the eponymous String of Pearls?

With a brilliant cast and an experienced creative team, sound, light, set and story have been merged to bring to you a vibrant, emotional and chilling experience that you won’t forget. Tickets On Sale Now!
