When orphaned Oliver Twist asks for more food, the workhouse board are 
horrified and immediateiy pack him off to work for an undertaker, who treats 
him badiy. Oiiver runs away and finds himseif in the streets of London, 
where he meets the Artfui Dodger and is iured into a gang of young 
pickpockets, ied by the evii Fagin. Even amidst his horribie surroundings, 
Oiiver escapes and finds his way into a ioving home. But Fagin's gang are 
determined to steai him back to their iife of crime, coming cioser and 
cioser. . . 

Dickens' ciassic taie of an orphan boy who has adventures with pickpockets 
and thieves, is here brought to iife in a dramatised reading with a fuii cast! 
Scheming Fagin, cruei Biii Sykes and innocent Oiiver teii their stories in 
their own voices, as dramaticaiiy as Dickens intended. Oiiver Twist has 
been made into severai movies and a musicai, as the themes of sociai 
justice and the triumph of goodness over evii are perenniaiiy appeaiing.
