Our community production returns as local people take to our main stage in another classic story with a Lawrence Batley Theatre spin. This time we present an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist.
Forget the cobbled streets of Victorian London. This is Oliver Twist reimagined on the streets of contemporary Huddersfield.
Oliver is searching for somewhere to belong. Beneath the railway arches, amongst the graffiti, kids on bikes and buzz of the streets, he finds Fagin’s gang: a group of young people who have built a world of their own. Here, Oliver discovers friendship, freedom and a family he never had. But in Fagin’s world, nothing comes for free. Behind the banter and sense of belonging lies a darker reality, where every favour has a price...
Bold, gritty and brought to life by a community cast of all ages, this fresh take on Oliver Twist adapted by our Head of Creative Programme Olivia Race brings Dickens’ classic into the here and now, exploring the need to belong, the pull of loyalty and the courage it takes to find your own way.
