Oliver Twist
‘They are children of no importance. Who among us will speak their name? Who will speak their name?’ 1945 Berlin: bombed, blitzed, burnt. A corpse of a city, twitching in its death throes – children swarm, like rats, over brokentooth ruins. Throaty-voiced cabaret song slices through blue smoke. Oliver, refugee in a war-ravaged world, among the brothel madams and blackmarketeers. What price a child’s life? Dickens’ classic of dispossessed innocence darkly retold by one of the Fringe’s ‘essential theatre companies’ ***** (British Theatre Review). ‘Verdict: Perfect’ (‘Lion, Witch, the Wardrobe’, Quentin Letts, Daily Mail). ‘Flawless’ (‘The Iliad’, ThreeWeeks).
