Oliver Twist

Adapted by Neil Bartlett
Based on the novel by Charles Dickens
Directed by Francine Torres

May 22–June 7, 2026

Lohman Theatre, Los Altos Hills

Unvarnished. Unfiltered. Unforgettable.

Forget the musical. Neil Bartlett’s Oliver Twist strips away a century of sentimental varnish and gives you Dickens raw. An ensemble conjures the whole rotten, gorgeous underworld of Victorian London, seen through the eyes of a child who has no business surviving it. Dark, theatrical, and completely alive.

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.
