Based on the novel by Charles Dickens
Directed by Francine Torres

No singing. No dancing. Just the unforgettable original story.

May 22–June 7, 2026

Lohman Theatre, Los Altos Hills

No singing. No dancing. Just the unforgettable original story.

Forget the musical. In this powerful new adaptation of Dickens' classic novel, Olivier Award-nominated writer and director Neil Bartlett brings back to the theatre one of the angriest, funniest and most deeply felt stories about childhood ever written. Taking their inspiration from the dark underbelly of Victorian London, a company of actors conjure up a host of unforgettable characters, including Fagin, Nancy, Bill Sikes, the Artful Dodger and, of course, little Oliver himself. Dickens' original words bring this reimagined, non-musical classic back to thrilling life - a city teeming with images of danger and fear, of innocence and of hope - all seen through the eyes of an astonished child who has no business surviving it.

Note: This production contains mature themes and stylized depictions of Victorian violence.

The average run time of Oliver Twist is about 2 hours.

Recommended for ages 12 and up. This is a dramatic play, not the musical. Neil Bartlett's adaptation is a dramatic play that stays close to Dickens' original novel – dark, suspenseful, and powerful. Characters die, and the world of the story is genuinely grim. That said, it's also thrilling, funny in places, and deeply moving.
