Welcome to London in the mid 19th century.
The show tells the tale of Oliver Twist, an orphan boy who has the temerity to ask for more. It tells of his sale to the undertaker, his escape from there and his falling in with Fagin, the Artful Dodger and his gang. The tale twists and turns (bad pun intended!! Ed.) to its dramatic conclusion via deathbed confessions, abduction, gun fights, reconciliation, and the reuniting of Oliver to his long-lost grandfather. |
