Oliver Twist

The 1838 Theatrical Adaptation

Book • 2015

This adaptation was first performed in the fall of 1838, before the full text of Dickens' original novel had been released.

It is a serio-comic burletta that deviates from the original novel, and Dickens himself was reportedly horrified by the performance.

The adaptation highlights the theatrical interpretation of Dickens' work during the Victorian era.
