The Dickens classic, but not as you know it!
by Charles Dickens, adapted by Guy Williams
Directed by Caroline McCluskey
Presented by The Talisman Youth Theatre
Delve into the murky underbelly of Victorian Britain with Dickens’ irresistible portrayal of poverty, crime and cruelty.
This classic story tells of young orphan Oliver’s arrival in London, where he soon falls under the influence of Fagin, a gang of young thieves, and the irrepressible Artful Dodger.
With a story much truer to the original, Guy Williams’ adaptation of the beloved novel differs dramatically from the musical version, portraying a darker, more realistic view of 19th-century London.
Featuring engaging performances from a talented youth cast, this theatrical experience is sure to leave you wanting more!
Age recommendation: Age 6 years and above.
