Is it available anywhere to read? It seems to have been very much overshadowed by Sondheim/Wheeler's adaptation of it..

I've wondered about that version too.

I know someone who was in a regional production of the Bond play in England. I don't think it's as commonly done over here...*shrug.*

It's quite nearly word-for-word the Sondheim / Wheeler version as I remember.

The Bond script is available from Samuel French here in the US for $9.98. Go to www.samuelfrench.com and type Sweeney Todd in the search thing. Be careful as 2 scripts are listed. The Bond version is "Sweeney Todd, The demon Barber of Fleet Street"
