Written by Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist was critically acclaimed for exposing the cruel treatment of orphans during the mid-19th century and also its unromantic portrayal of the lives of criminals. Award-winning dramatist Bryony Lavery has adapted this tale in conjunction with Leeds Playhouse to put disabled artists on center stage. Amy Leach, who has directed The Wonderful Wizard of OZ, The Shelter, and We All Fall Down is all set to direct the production which promises to dazzle audiences from across the world!
The story
Born into a poor family, Oliver Twist is left orphaned after his father’s mysterious disappearance and his mother’s death during childbirth. Oliver finds a home in a sweatshop, where he is mistreated. Soon, however, Oliver encounters Artful Dodger and Fagin and joins their troupe of pickpockets. He revels in this new exciting and adventurous life as a criminal. His happiness, however, is short-lived and he finds himself falling under the influence of the vile Bill Sykes. Will Oliver be able to turn around a life filled with misfortune and poverty?

SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5It's incredible—they're fantastic. The show is on par with *Les Misérables*. Farin is perfect, and Nancy has a wonderful voice. I recommend it 100%, and I saw it in style at the Gran Circle B20.AAmanda H
GroupVerified booking4 days ago5/5From even before the opening curtain, Oliver! Had me in its grasp. The set is beautifully atmospheric, dripping with industrial era grime and grift. And then on comes Oliver himself, singing about live and holding that note ... not a dry eye in the house! All the children were marvellous, as were the rest of the cast. Fagin, particularly, charmed the crowd and had us cursing and wishing for him all at once. The theatre itself allows the audience to almost hug the stage, with just about no bad seats! A highlight of my European Summer!MMaria R
