Book a ticket or two for Oliver!

Based on the Charles Dickens novel, it tells the tale of a poor little orphan boy who, after escaping the workhouse, is sold off to an undertaker.

After running away, he finds himself on the streets of London where he meets the iconic Artful Dodger and is welcomed into a gang of pickpockets, led by the conniving, charismatic rogue Fagin.

Wrongly accused of theft, Oliver is taken in by a kindly gentleman much to the alarm of the brutal Bill Sykes.

Caught in the middle is the warm-hearted Nancy who is desperate to help Oliver – but with tragic results.

Packed with iconic songs – Food Glorious Food, As Long As He Needs Me and Reviewing the Situation, to name but a few – this is a must see show for the whole family.

Performances take place at the school on Thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20.

Doors open at 6.30pm, with the show starting at 7pm.

Tickets cost £6 and £4.50 from the academy on 01205 480352 or online via www.ticketsource.co.uk/wlcea.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) and all authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI Europe.
