NO CUTTING remarks were heard at the first night of the musical Sweeney Todd at Erith School.

The grisly play is currently on at the Avenue Road school where it is playing to packed houses and the students have relished the opportunity to perform in the gruesome show.

Show director Joan Weston said: “Sweeney Todd is a great story and the children really enjoy performing it. They have all put in a great deal of work and the parents looked like they really enjoyed it.”
