"The homicidal barber who kills his customers and bakes them in pies is not traditional Christmas fare but it is a bloodcurdling and funny alternative to panto." Birmingham News. The title role was taken by Richard Morgan who later moved to Italy after being offered his own children's TV show! The production marked the first pairing of Tom Bailey (Director) and James Rowell (Designer) who after Stage2 went on to work at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry and for the BBC respectively.


 

Mastery of the script, as is expected of Stage2. However many times I see this ever changing young company, I am amazed by the wealth of talent.
