ABOUT OLIVER!
Join young, orphaned Oliver Twist as he navigates the streets of England searching for a home, a family, and most importantly, for love. After becoming the neglected apprentice of an undertaker, Oliver escapes to London and finds acceptance amongst a group of petty thieves and pickpockets led by the elderly Fagin. When Oliver is captured for a theft he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs his sinister sidekick Bill Sikes and the harm-hearted Nancy to kidnap Oliver back, threatening Oliver’s chances of discovering the true love of a family.
