Play Synopsis:
Set in the slums, workhouses and regency streets of Victorian London, Oliver Twists tells the story of Fagin, a cunning criminal and his gang of street-smart pickpockets who meet Oliver, a hungry orphan boy. In order to avoid the hangman’s noose, Fagin must convince judge and jury of his good intentions in caring for Oliver in the hope of his own redemption.
