OLIVER TWIST

Jason discusses OLIVER TWIST with the Vermont Stage Company's Artistic Director, Mark Nash.

Using Charles Dickens' original words, a handful of tunes composed by local musician David Symons, and a chameleon ensemble of actors featuring some of Vermont's finest performers, Neil Bartlett's powerful new 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.
