Tom Sadler plays evil hairdresser Trevor Sorbet

Trevor Sorbet

Trevor is a superlatively gifted hairstylist - and he knows it. The recent mysterious death of veteran town barber Johnny Johnson had left Trevor in the unanticipated but not at all displeasing position of Shavingham's solitary mop-chopper - but when Johnny's matador son shows up, Trevor's supremacy is threatened and he must rise to the challenge.

Meanwhile, his innovative new haircare product - Trevor Sorbet's Miracle Mousse with Encapsulated Nano System - has set follicle fanatics' hearts racing across Norfolk - but is there more to the mousse than meets the eye?

Tom Sadler

Tom is a founding member of Barbershopera. He has co-written all four Barbershopera stage musicals to date, as well as the group's two Afternoon Plays for Radio 4 and songs for their variety show, Cabaret Sauvignon.

Tom used to perform in Barbershopera's live shows too, but has concentrated his efforts on writing since relocating to the USA in 2011; he is, however, delighted to make a fleeting return to his old harmonising and (radio) gurning ways for The Barber of Shavingham on 大象传媒 Radio 4.

Other credits include singer and songwriter as half of The Bodega Brothers, writer and performer for The Great Caravaggio's Travelling Circus (大象传媒 Radio 7 - since rebranded as 大象传媒 Radio 4 Extra), and writer of Nativitie (Clerkenwell Theatre), A Place In The Sun (Tristan Bates Theatre), The Rage of Achilles (The Door, Birmingham) and Muswell Hill (National Student Drama Festival).
