Set in the slums and back streets of Victorian London, Oliver Twist is the epic story of a poor young orphan boy who grows up in the most extreme conditions. This lonely yet fine young boy is passed from pillar to post, and is exposed to heart-breaking cruelty and unrelenting hardship. Along the way, Oliver encounters a colourful array of extraordinary and vibrant characters, who have captured the popular imagination for over 150 years: the mesmerizing magician Fagin, the beautiful yet tragic Nancy, the crafty young pickpocket the Artful Dodger, and perhaps one of the greatest villains of all times - the terrifying Bill Sikes.
