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.
Sweeney Todd rises from the grave	Mrs. Lovett makes a "tasty" pie	Did you recognise me as Judge Turpin?
I caricatured the whole cast	"Taste this; you'll need it."
Anthony, the sailor	Pirelli pulls a tooth.	Me as the Judge.
Todd sings to his razor.
A Little Priest	Tobias and the cast sing Hot Pies	Mrs. Lovett sings By the Sea
Don't even ask about my costume here... Johanna, meanwhile, has been imprisoned by the evil old Judge
The escaped lunatics	Getting my throat cut each night was scary	...and going down the chute was horrifying!
Tobias sings while I lie dead behind him	Johanna sings to the Birdseller	The lovely Tobias in his straightjacket. What fun!
