AUDITIONS COMING SOON “OLIVER TWIST” adapted by Jeremy Brock from Charles Dickens Directed by Nicola Bond & Peter Kirkwood Harbour Theatre’s final production for 2009 is the well-known tale of the orphan Oliver, and his struggle to survive against the odds. Set in Dickensian London, we chart Oliver’s progress through the wretched hive of scum and villainy that abounds at every turn. Jeremy Brock’s adaptation combines the richness of the story – sinister antics from the mellifluous sounding Fagin; comic pomposity from the Workhouse Beadle, Mr Bumble; and the horror of Nancy’s brutal murder at the hands of Bill Sikes – with dramatic and up-to-date pace. We will require a large mixed cast. Please contact the directors on: email: peteratharbourtheatre@gmail.com OR Nicola: 0417 907 291 Peter: 0448 836 572  for more detailed information and audition requirements.    Season dates :  Nov 26th, Nov 27th, 28th, Nov 30th, Dec 2nd, Dec 4th, Dec 5th, Dec 9th, Dec 11th, Dec 12th @ 8.00pm.

Questioning

No it is not the musical version, it is a version written for the Old Vic Theatre in London.

Audition dates will be published as soon as they have been set, so keep watching.
