'This play we're doing, it's not true, is it? I mean, there never was a Sweeney Todd who killed people?'
Jackus never wanted to be in the school play, but he didn't have much choice.
Now he sees that what's unfolding on-stage is more than just acting, more than just pretend. Strange things are happening. Terrifying things.
Ghostly footprints. Unexplained whispering. The touch of a cold hand in the shadows . . .
What has been woken by the play's dark words? Can Jackus stop it, or are the actors doomed to play out the tragedy to the bitter end?
