Oliver Twist

SamArt Theatre invites audiences to a family musical! Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens is considered the first English novel to feature a child as its central character.

The story of a true little gentleman – the boy Oliver Twist – has been set to music by composer Alexander Tchaikovsky. Monumental stage designs of 19th-century London were created by scenographer Kirill Danilov. Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and guards in black bearskin hats share the stage with water pipes and a red double-decker bus – home and refuge for the pickpockets whose fate becomes intertwined with Oliver’s.

SamArt’s production tells a full-scale adventure story of Oliver Twist and the gang. The boy must endure many trials to find real friends and finally hear the words: “We love you, Oliver!”

This is not a magical but a realistic fairy tale – one that moves the heart, brings smiles, and makes audiences fall in love with its characters.
