Maidenhead Operatic Society: Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Maidenhead Operatic Society presents

Stephen Sondheim’s iconic award winning musical, which is in turn both comic and chilling.

Bloodthirsty barber Sweeney Todd has sworn revenge on the judge who destroyed his life. He now holds Todd’s beautiful daughter prisoner. Mrs Lovett needs to save her failing pie-shop. Together they hatch a murderous plan which could solve both problems…

Set in the backstreets of Victorian London, this dark and blood-soaked tale is widely regarded as having Sondheim’s finest score.

Sweeney Todd depicts scenes of a sensitive and violent nature. This is an amateur production.

Acoustic Guitar - Absolute Beginners

Led by Richard Lee.

Always wanted to learn guitar but never got around to it? Want to trade your air guitar skills for real guitar skills? It is never too late to learn. Learn guitar right from the very beginning. This is a foundation course for those with little to no experience of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold a guitar and to make the right noises out of it. The aim of these lessons is to get you playing your first song within 4 weeks of lessons, as no-one takes up guitar to strum random chords, it’s all about the songs.

If you are returning to guitar having not played for some time and can barely remember chords this is a great way of getting back into the swing of things.
