‘OLIVER TWIST’
|
Adapted by Neil Bartlett
Using Charles Dickens’ original words, a handful of tunes stolen from the vivid world of Victorian music-hall, and an ensemble of talented young 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 new stage version was given its first performance at the Lyric Hammersmith, London in February 2004.
Through the Gwent Young People’s Theatre, Gwent Theatre offers opportunities for young people to participate in a wide range of theatre activities under the direction of professional theatre practitioners. The youth theatre has a reputation for consistently high standards and has won acclaim for their recent productions of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, ‘Alice’s Adventures Under Ground’ and ‘Tales From Ovid’
