Oliver Twist, an orphan born into poverty in a Victorian workhouse, embarks on a journey to find his true identity, a search that involves passion, violence, sadness, and joy. When brutal Fagin makes a deal with a stranger to steal Oliver Twist's birthright by leading the young lad into a den of iniquity and corruption, Fagin has no idea that it will lead to his own destruction...
Oliver Twist is from the same creative team behind last year's critically acclaimed production of A Christmas Carol, which had to extend its run twice because of phenomenal demand.
"In these bleak times Oliver Twist is a reminder of our much darker past and this production, if you'll pardon a well-trodden phrase, certainly leaves you wanting more." Whats On Stage    
But be warned: this is Oliver Twist as you've never seen it before - and definitely not the laughter-filled musical!
