Production Synopsis

Oliver Twist, the orphan who dared to ask for more is sold to Mister Sowerberry the undertaker. Desperate and alone, he decides to run away to London, where he meets Jack Dawkins "The Artful Dodger" and is lured into a world of petty theft by the sinister Fagin and his gang of young boys. Seemingly destined for a life of crime, Oliver's pureness of heart and inherent sense of right and wrong allows him to navigate the maze of violence and corruption to emerge triumphant.
