In November, 2005, I played Judge Turpin in an excellent production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, staged by the Basingstoke Amateur Theatrical Society . As you can see from the photos below - that finally arrived seven months after the show - the quality of the production was something we could all be proud of.
