Production Information

Hot on the heels of the record-breaking, universally loved A Christmas Carol, we are delighted to present a spectacular, brand new version of Oliver Twist. Dickens’ masterpiece of storytelling takes us through suspense, heartaches, joys and fulfillment in Victorian London.

As with A Christmas Carol, the production will feature original songs and music to enhance the narrative and atmosphere and will be complemented by a cast which includes local children.

Come and meet some of the most memorable and enduring characters in all of fiction; Fagin, Bill Sikes, Nancy, Mr Bumble, the Artful Dodger, the boys of the workhouse and, of course, Oliver Twist himself.

You’ll need to book early to avoid disappointment. Suitable for ages 5 and over.
