Reviews

"A large, highly-talented ensemble of actor-musicians, directed perceptively by Josette Bushell-Mingo, a succession of catchy Lionel Bart-style songs and a wonderfully atmospheric set, all subfusc and smoky, add up to a delightful show for Christmas with universal appeal."

THE STAGE

"It is genuinely hard to find fault with the production, and I cannot recommend it highly enough...To paraphrase the show’s title character: “Please, Octagon. Can we have some more? Quite simply, this is the best piece of family theatre that I can remember seeing, and it is sure to enthral, delight, and grip all ages. I was surrounded by an audience of schoolchildren, who didn’t utter a single word, and were held captive throughout."

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.
