Notes: | from the novel by Charles Dickens | |||||
Synopsis: | Young Oliver's request is one of the things most people associate with Dickens's story but in this adaptation he doesn't get to say it. The action starts a couple of chapters later when the lad is about to be handed over to undertaker Sowerberry (Terence Mustoo). All earlier incidents are simply reported in their conversation which pitches straight into the story in a version which, though inevitably missing out some episodes and detail, sticks closely to the original tale of the orphan boy taken up to be trained in Fagin's school of boy pick-pockets and thieves and of his eventual return to middle class proprieties and an inheritance from a father he never knew. | |||||
