"OLIVER!"
By Lionel Bart

Directed by Jim Volkert

The streets of Victorian England come to life as Oliver, a malnourished
orphan in a workhouse, becomes 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 that he did not commit, the benevolent victim, Mr. Brownlow
takes him in. Fearing the safety of his hideout, Fagin employs the sinister
Bill Sikes and the sympathetic Nancy to kidnap him back, threatening
Oliver's chances of discovering the true love of a family.
