Oliver Twist By Jeremy Brock

By Jeremy Brock, adapted from the novel by Charles Dickens

Directed by Maggie Coleman & Joan Williams

The story of an orphan boy whose unmarried mother dies on the streets after his birth, Oliver Twist is in reality from a good family. Beginning his life in the workhouse, Oliver escapes to London only to get caught up with a gang of thieves and pickpockets led by the old crook Fagin. A tale of child labour, friendship, crime and poverty, brutality and murder, but eventually one of retribution and destiny.
