Publisher's Summary
The classic tale in 3D, like you’ve never heard it before.
An Audible Original adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, executive produced by Academy-Award winning director Sam Mendes, with an original score by The Feeling’s Dan Gillespie Sells (Everyone’s Taking About Jamie), and with an all-star cast including Brian Cox (Succession) as Fagin, Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) as Bill Sikes, Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) as Nancy, Adeel Akhtar (Four Lions) as Mr Bumble, Lucian Msamati (Gangs of London) as Mr Brownlow, Paapa Essiedu (The Lazarus Project) as Toby Crackit, Kit Connor (Heartstopper) as Noah Claypole, Diane Morgan (Philomena Cunk) as Mrs Mann, Julia Davis (Nighty Night) as Mrs Sowerberry, Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) as Mr Sowerberry and Patricia Allison (Sex Education) as Rose Maylie. And introducing Emilio Villa Muhammad as Oliver Twist and Elijah Wolf as the Artful Dodger.
Orphaned at birth, Oliver Twist is born into the grimmest of 19th century English workhouses with a life of grinding poverty ahead of him. But the boy is a fighter and after being evicted from the workhouse for asking for 'more' and surviving a stint as an undertaker’s assistant, he walks many miles to London and finds a whole new life with a gang of young pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger and their guardian Fagin.
Oliver’s adventures are only beginning as he finds his way into the home of wealthy Mr. Brownlow. Even there he is not safe, for Fagin and his even more dangerous colleague, the thief Bill Sikes, seek to snatch him back and lead him deeper into a life of crime. Only Nancy, Bill Sikes’ girlfriend, can ensure Oliver’s future safety, even if that puts her own life at risk. Full of twists and turns, the story moves towards a dramatic climax when murder prompts a manhunt and a final confrontation with the forces threatening Oliver’s future.
Sit back and listen as this 19th century classic is brought to the most vivid, cinematic life in an epic, immersive audio drama.

An excellent submersive experience
This is an accesible way into the Oliver Twist story, a book I've never been able to finish. The production was excellent, with 3D sound effects and believable performances. A very engaging and eventful plotline. Trigger Warning: scenes of domestic violence.

I couldn’t stop listening.
The dramatic effects make it worth every minute. Try not to listen to this one at 2x sees it may ruin all the hard work they put in music and dramatisation.

Wonderful vivid dramatisation
I loved this telling of the Oliver Twist story. It was beautifully alive with a soundscape and multiple actors. I felt drawn into the Victorian world of London.

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole way through. Brilliant production, never a dull moment, and just as entertaining than any movie version I’ve seen. Bravo!
