Harbour Theatre’s final production for 2009 is the well-known tale of the orphan Oliver, and his struggle to survive against the odds. Set in Dickensian London, we chart Oliver’s progress through the wretched hive of scum and villainy that abounds at every turn. Jeremy Brock’s adaptation combines the richness of the story – sinister antics from the mellifluous sounding Fagin; comic pomposity from the Workhouse Beadle, Mr Bumble; and the horror of Nancy’s brutal murder at the hands of Bill Sikes – with dramatic and up-to-date pace.

AUDITIONS WILL BE HELD on
