Oliver Twist e-bog

It is a solemn thing to hear, in a darkened room, the voice of a child Using Charles Dickens original words, a handful of tunesstolen from the vivid world of Victorian music-hall, and a chameleon ensemble of thirteen 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 version was first performed at the Lyric Hammersmith in 2004.
