Twist

In a radical reimagining of Dickens’ classic novel, Chino Odimba and Theatre Centre, pioneers of new writing for young audiences, transform Oliver’s struggle for sanctuary into a modern tale framed by the global crisis fast defining the 21st century. Twist is one boy’s search for home among the nameless millions they call ‘migrant’.

This retelling of a Victorian masterpiece will challenge intolerance with urgency and compassion. In a world where home is but a fragile thing and good fortune just a turn of fate, Twist is about having the temerity to ask for more.
