Oliver Twist

‘It is a solemn thing to hear, in a darkened room, the voice of a child…’ Using Charles Dickens’ original words, a handful of tunesstolen from the vivid world of Victorian music-hall, and a chameleon ensemble of thirteen actors, Neil Bartlett’s powerful version of Oliver Twist brings the dark underbelly of nineteenth-century London back to bold theatrical life. The unforgettable characters – Fagin, Nancy, Bill Sikes, and the Artful Dodger – inhabit a world filled with images of danger and fear, innocence and hope; a world seen through the eyes of an astonished child. This version was first performed at the Lyric Hammersmith in 2004.Author: Dickens, Charles,author Contributors: Dickens, Charles,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 92 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 1 Apr 2004 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Author/Director/Artist: Charles Dickens Dimension (cm): 210x140x6 mm Package Dimension (cm): 8x203x127 mm Item Weight (g): 118 Package Weight (g): 113
