OLIVER
NARRATOR: Bringing Charles Dickens’ beloved novel to life, Lionel Bart’s OLIVER! takes
audiences on a wild adventure through Victorian England. Join young, orphaned OLIVER
Twist as he navigates London’s underworld of theft and violence, searching for a home, a
family, and – most importantly – love. When Oliver is picked up on the street by a boy
named the Artful Dodger, he is welcomed into a gang of child pickpockets led by the
conniving, but charismatic, Fagin. When OLIVER is falsely accused of a theft he did not
commit, he is rescued by a kind and wealthy gentleman, to the dismay of Fagin’s violent
sidekick, Bill Sykes. Caught in the middle is the warm-hearted Nancy, who is trapped under
Bill’s thumb, but desperate to help OLIVER, with tragic results. With spirited, timeless
songs like ‘Food, Glorious Food’ and Where is love, OLIVER! is a musical classic.
MCTM International brings to you the story OLIVER TWIST by the famous writer
Charles Dickens, an adaptation from the movie OLIVER!
NARRATOR 2: Our tale begins in Victorian England, a time of great Imperial wealth,
hiding much poverty for ordinary people. Nine years ago, one such unfortunate girl found
herself alone and unable to care for the baby she was soon to have. She threw herself on
the mercy of the workhouse but, sadly died without knowing her son. Her only worldly
possession was a golden brooch, quickly spirited away by the workhouse dame. The baby
was given the name OLIVER Twist by the parish beadle in charge of the workhouse - one
Mr BUMBLE…..
[Song ends and boys wait with bowls up ready to eat, whilst looking at MR BUMBLE.]

OLIVER: More?
- Catch him!
- Snatch him!
- Hold him!
- Scold him!
- Pounce him, trounce him
- Pick him up and bounce him
Wait!
Before we take the lad to task
May I be so curious
As to ask his name
Widow Corney: OLIVER Twist, Mr. BUMBLE. You named him so yourself.
Mr. BUMBLE: So that's who he is.
SONG 2 OLIVER
BUMBLE: Indeed we shall. Come boy. A trade for you – chimney sweep will do.
[Dragging OLIVER crying down centre of hall, to turn back to centre stage .]
[Enter from right MR and MRS SOWERBERRY and NOAH CLAYPOLE – a pall bearer for
the funeral parlour.]
MR SOWERBERRY: Good day to you, Mr. BUMBLE. What have you there?
BUMBLE: Only three guineas, Mr. SOWERBERRY.A bargain if ever there was one.
SOWERBERRY: I was looking for a boy. Bring him in, Mr. BUMBLE. Bring him in.
SOWERBERRY: My love...I said we might consider taking this boy to help in the shop.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY: I dare say he will...on our vitals and drink. These workhouse boys
always cost more than they're worth. Where did he come from?
BUMBLE: Mother came to us destitute. She brings a child into the world, takes one look at
him and promptly dies...without leaving a forwarding name and address. So he's yours for
three guineas as agreed, cash on delivery.
SOWERBERRY No, no, Mr. BUMBLE. Cash upon liking. A week on approval. If we get
enough work out of him...without putting too much food into him, then we'll keep him.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY He can help NOAH Claypole put the shutters up. Do you hear,
NOAH? Then he can clean the stables, fill the lamps and sweep the yard.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY: You think you could look like that gentleman up there?
NARRATOR: OLIVER spent an unhappy month with Mr. and Mrs. SOWERBERRY. He made
a wonderful undertakers mute, often passing the orphanage when he once lived. However,
all was not well at the SOWERBERRY’s, he was teased and goaded by NOAH Claypole, Mr.
SOWERBERRY’s pall bearer.
OLIVER: He started.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY: The lid, quick! Put the lid on! Oh, dear. 'm going off. Water!
NOAH, go to the workhouse. Get Mr. BUMBLE. Tell him to come quick.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY He's gone mad or he wouldn't dare to speak to you like that.
BUMBLE: It's not madness ma’am, it's meat!
Mrs. SOWERBERRY: Meat?
BUMBLE: Meat, ma'am, meat. You've overfed the boy. You've raised an artificial spirit in
him unbecoming to his station in life. This would never have happened if you'd kept him
and worse.
OLIVER: She didn't. It's a lie!
BUMBLE: Hold your tongue!
Noah: Put him in the cellar, Mr. BUMBLE. That'll teach him.
[MR SOWERBERRY lies down in coffin]
SOWERBERRY: It's really quite comfortable.
Mrs. SOWERBERRY: Three pounds, indeed! You can take him back.
[MR SOWERBERRY drags OLIVER off stage and out of the hall. MR BUMBLE, MRS
SOWERBERRY and CLAYPOLE shake their heads and leave .]
[OLIVER wonders slowly back into the hall, rubbing his eyes .]
SCENE 4
SETTING: DARK ROOM
Narration: So Oliver ends up in the cellar of the coffin maker Mr. Sowerberry.
[As music ends, OLIVER goes left and sees a possibility of escape .]
[Scene opens on a busy London street. Children walk up and down centre and sides of hall,
calling out wares. OLIVER is soon approached by a small, thin boy of thirteen .]
ARTFUL DODGER: What you starin' at? Haven't you never seen a toff?
OLIVER: No, never. I'm sorry, I didn't...
ARTFUL DODGER: That's all right. Hungry?
OLIVER: Yes, I am. I've come a long way. I've been walking for seven days.
DODGER: Been running away from the beak?
nothing.
OLIVER: Really?
DODGER: And will never ask for change if any other gentleman he knows introduces you.
OLIVER: He must be a very kind old gentleman.
DODGER: Oh, yes, he's very kind. And I'm a particular favorite of his. Well, if you're

NARRATOR: OLIVER and Jack made their way through the grime and stench of London’s
back streets. They arrived at a tumbling ruin which was home to many children and an
elderly crook known as Fagin.
[The boys all busy themselves with glittering items and large handkerchiefs .]
JACK: Fagin, I’ve brought you a new ‘friend’. (pushing OLIVER forward). This is OLIVER
Twist.
[FAGIN has his back to audience and, turns. He is cooking sausages and brandishes a long
fork.]
FAGIN: (amazed and amused, extends hand) Wonderful to meet you, OLIVER, my dear.
Very pleased to make your acquaintance?
OLIVER: (bowing low, again) I am delighted to meet you. Thank you for inviting me to your
home.
[JACK chuckles and the other boys draw near, fingering OLIVER’S coat. They grab
OLIVER’S bundle and begin pulling out the contents. OLIVER is distressed.]
FAGIN: Ger ‘off ‘is things! (dragging back the bundle). Dodger, take off the sausages. Let
young OLIVER sit near the fire.
FAGIN: Dodger ‘ere says you have come to London to seek your fortune. Is that right?
JACK: ‘Course Fagin. Got a present for you. (handing over a wallet)
FAGIN: Lined?
FAGIN: Ah, you notice the pocket handkerchief, my dear. We’ve got them ready for a
wash. Ha, ha, ha! (all join in)
FAGIN: Not exactly my boy. I suppose a laundry would be a very nice thing, indeed! But our
line of business pays a little better. Don’t it boys? You see, Oliver…
[The BOYS jangle all the items taken from FAGIN’S coat, in front of an amazed OLIVER.
The music continues playing and all the boys sit on stage. FAGIN stuffs his pocket with a
handkerchief.]
[OLIVER follows FAGIN and eventually drags a string of handkerchiefs from his coat,
then falls over.]
FAGIN: Splendid OLIVER, splendid. What a bright boy you are, my dear. ( to Jack) He’s
ready, Dodger.
FAGIN: Tomorrow you shall begin your trade, OLIVER. But for tonight, Dodger will find
you a bed.
[OLIVER moves stage left and he and all the boys settle down for the night .]
NARRATOR: The boys slept, dreaming of the wheeling and dealing of the day. That night,
and each night, Fagin would slip away to visit a nearby tavern, for it was here that he
received the spoils of a master house breaker… one Bill Sykes. Sykes was a mean and
menacing crook; dangerous to know and evil to cross. Sykes began his career as one of
Fagin’s urchin gang, quickly graduating to vicious theft…. and worse!

SCENE 7
Narration: Bill Sykes meets Nancy at a tavern and lures her to become a part of their
gang.
SCENE 8
SOUND EFFECTS: COCK CROWS /LOUD KNOCKING
[Cock crow off stage. Loud knocking off stage right, NANCY and BETH enter .]
[BOYS yawn stretch and instantly buck up, when they see NANCY and BETH carrying
baskets.]
NANCY: Come on ‘en. Who wants a bull’s eye (handing sweets from basket)
JACK: (in an exaggerated posh voice) ‘Morning my dear ladies. May I ‘ave the pleasure of
presenting to you, our new lodger.
NANCY: (smiling) Don’t let ‘em tease you OLIVER. Just ‘cos you got manners and they ain’t.
JACK: Wot you mean? I can be a proper gent. Permit me to assist you across the road.
NANCY: Well that’s done me a power ‘o good (smoothing her skirts and picking up her
basket)
FAGIN: So that’s enough o’ that! (to NANCY and BETH) Good day my dears (turning to
boys) and you lot! It’s time you was at work! Time is money y’ know!
NANCY: Not so fast Fagin! You know why I’m ‘ere – it’s for my Bill’s money. Now cough up
or you’ll be coughing if he find’s out!
[FAGIN goes to his hidden box and reluctantly counts out coins .]
FAGIN: Do you know, my dear, how very difficult it is to deal with the donations from rich
‘omes? And it can be very, very dangerous………
NANCY: And Bill will be very dangerous if you don’t ‘and over what he’s due!
BETH: C’ mon, we’ve got work to do. We can’t stay here all day no matter ‘ow good yer all
are.
FAGIN: C’ mon you boys we ain’t got all day, the birds are singing and we need to look
chirpy, too. (seeing OLIVER looking at him).’aint that right, Dodger?
FAGIN: Y’ reckon?

NARRATOR: The streets of Old London Town offered ample opportunity for pickpockets
and especially a new recruit, like OLIVER. After a few foiled attempts, they see a
venerable gentleman, one Mr Brownlow, engrossed in a purchase.
[JACK and BOY 1 tiptoe behind MR BROWNLOW and after several attempts, managed to
lift his pocket flap. OLIVER stands behind, staring at the act.]
[JACK and BOY1 look shocked and run in opposite direction to the back of the hall.
OLIVER is left staring at MR BROWNLOW.]
MR BROWNLOW: (kindly voiced and holding out his hand) Come on boy, hand it over.
MR BROWNLOW: (holding out his hand) Come boy, hand it back. I know you have it.
[A POLICEMAN from the side of stage, gives chase and catches OLIVER, who struggles.]
PROP: GAVEL
NARRATOR: OLIVER had the misfortune to stand before Mr Fang, the most miserable
magistrate of the town. Pickpockets were an unfortunate pestilence of London. They were
dealt with severely, with hard labour, cruelty and the consequences!
MAGISTRATE: (looking up from his file full of papers ) Who are you?
MR BROWNLOW: I am Mr Brownlow.
POLICEMAN: (trying not to laugh) He’s not charged at all. He appears against the boy,
your worship.
MAGISTRATE: Boy, what boy? (seeing OLIVER) Oh, I see. Mmmm. What’s the boy done?
POLICEMAN: Well, your worship, he’s been charges with pocket picking, of good Mr
Brownlow, here. (looking at OLIVER, swaying slightly) The boy looks ill!
MAGISTRATE: Nonsense!
MR BROWNLOW: (bending over OLIVER) Poor boy, poor boy. Fetch a coach, I’ll not press
charges.
JACK: The old man’s got ‘im. Taken ‘im ‘ome with ‘im.
14
FAGIN: It’s worse than careless, Bill. Have you thought what might ‘appen if he croaks
what he was doin’. He could lead the Old Bill, ‘ere.
SYKES: Well that will be nasty for you, you miserable old beggar.
FAGIN: But just think, Bill. If he leads ‘em to us, then it is one step nearer to you …………
SYKES: Well we need ‘im back ‘ere, then. Go and get ‘im, now!
FAGIN: Oh not me my dear, this needs a gentle touch, a woman’s touch ( glancing at Nancy)
Someone he trusts.
NANCY: No, no. Leave the boy alone. He’s got a chance of a real life, better then this ‘ere.
SYKES: (threatening Nancy) Yes she will, Fagin. She’ll go, or she’ll end up black and blue.
SYKES: (raising his hand to Nancy and pushing her to stage right ) You’ll go now, my girl if
you know what’s good for you!
[OLIVER has been lying on stage. Gets up, yawns and stretches. Goes to window, left.]
OLIVER: Oh my. I thought it was a dream, but I am truly lucky to be here with kind Mr
Brownlow. (smiling and gazing all around) What a wonderful day.
[VARIOUS STREET SELLERS begin to call their wares and wonder from back, centre back
and sides of hall.]
ROSE SELLER 1: Who will buy my sweet red roses, two blooms for a penny? REPEAT
[JACK and BILL walk down from back of hall and stand at side by hall door and are joined
by NANCY. All stand still, watching scene.]
NARRATOR: Life had changed for OLIVER. Kind Mr Brownlow had taken OLIVER for his
own. The friendless orphan would never be friendless again, as long as he lived. Mr
Brownlow was sure OLIVER was destined to be part of his family, perhaps because he
reminded him of his dear, but dead, neice. His close friend, Mr WINSTON was less than
convinced by the orphan child. He thought his friend was hoodwinked and deceived.
[MR BROWNLOW and his friend MR WINSTON sit centre stage. A small pile of books,
next to Mr Brownlow.]
MR WINSTON: Bah! He’s an orphan. All boys bought up in the workhouse are scoundrels.
MR BROWNLOW: (angry) Then we shall test OLIVER. (gathers up pile of books from the
table) Here OLIVER, take these to the bookstall for me and pay with this £5 note.
16
OLIVER: (eagerly) Certainly, sir. I shall not be long for I know just the stall you mean.
[OLIVER leaves with the books and walks around the hall which will eventually lead to
JACK, NANCY AND SYKES.]
MR WINSTON: Now Brownlow, my old friend, you won’t see that boy again! A new suit of
clothes, valuable books and a five pound note in his pocket. You expect him to come back?
OLIVER: (On the road) (singing) Who will buy my wonderful roses….(Sees the vendor)
Goodmorning!
[MR BROWNLOW and MR WINSTON leave the stage. OLIVER walks past NANCY and
she grabs him with her shawl over his head. JACK, SYKES, NANCY and OLIVER make
towards centre stage. Meanwhile, FAGIN and boys gather on stage. BILL removes the
shawl from OLIVER’S head.]
PROPS: BOOKS
OLIVER: (tearfully) Mr Brownlow will think I stole the books. You have kidnapped me.
FAGIN: But OLIVER my dear, this is your ‘ome, these are your friends and family.
OLIVER: I have to get back, I don’t want to live here with you, you’re a thief!
SYKES: (snarling) Back ‘ere. We’ll have to knock sense into ‘im.
NANCY: (pleading) No, you’ve got OLIVER, what more do you want?
JACK: (pleading) Don’t hit ‘im Bill. I’ll teach him to steal wipes.
SYKES: (thinking) I want a boy………a small thin boy.(staring hard and into OLIVER’s face)
…..for my house breaking job. (points to OLIVER) He’ll do…..but train him first, (wielding
club again) and if he does wrong…. I’ll bash some sense into ‘im.
FAGIN: Leave the boy, Bill. He’s no good ‘o this trade. He’s had no practice……..leave ‘im.
SYKES: (roughly) I ain’t leaving ‘im. The trouble he’s put us through. He’s goin’ to earn ‘is
place, tonight! Nancy, meet me at 11 in the tavern an’ you, Fagin. ( dragging OLIVER) C’mon
you.
[SYKES drags OLIVER out of the hall. NANCY gasps, stares at FAGIN and runs from the
hall.]
FAGIN: No good can come of this! No good at all (shouts at boys) Get to bed all of you!
PROP: BROOCH
NARRATOR: All did not look well for those in the sway of Bill Sykes and his ugly temper.
Nancy knew she had to do something - to find a way of returning OLIVER to where he
rightly belonged, with Mr Brownlow. Meanwhile, Mr Brownlow had found that OLIVER was
18
more than an engaging orphan who deserved a better life – he was his great nephew. The
link he had felt was missing had been put into place by a visit from MR and MRS BUMBLE.
MR BROWNLOW: (to himself while fingering the brooch) I knew it all along. I knew
OLIVER was her boy.
MR BUMBLE: So you see, Mr Brownlow we knew you would be very glad to see us, after
receiving your letter.
MR BROWNLOW: (angrily) Glad to see you. I would have been glad to see you nine years
ago.(holding out the brooch) You've kept this all these years?
MR BROWNLOW Did it not occur to you that this might provide the answer...to the boy's
parentage, his identity, his very name?
MR BROWNLOW: It was your duty to show this evidence to some higher authority. Your
behavior Madam was shameful!
MRS BUMBLE: How dare you speak to me so! I only came here to help you.
MR BROWNLOW: You came here to profit from your own greed and dishonesty.
MR. BUMBLE: If you think the locket don't properly belong to my wife...
MR BROWNLOW: You …Your reward. Think yourself lucky you're not in the
hands of the law.
MR. BUMBLE: But it was all Mrs. BUMBLE.I knew nothing of it until yesterday.
MR BROWNLOW: That's no excuse. In the eyes of the law you are the more guilty of the
two...Now get out!
[MR and MRS BUMBLE make their way indignantly exit. NANCY makes her way onto the
stage with her head covered.]
NANCY: I can’t tell you that, but I ‘ave news for you.
[NANCY and MR BROWNLOW mime the conversation about OLIVER and Sykes.]
NARRATOR: Mr Brownlow listened with anguish, of the event which had befallen OLIVER
at the hands of Fagin, Nancy and worst of all, Bill Sykes! Regretfully, Mr Brownlow had to
trust Nancy, if he was ever to see his beloved OLIVER, again. He agreed to meet Nancy on
London Bridge at midnight and she would bring the boy to him.
[NANCY flees and exits. MR BROWNLOW puts his head in his hands.
PROP: WINDOWS
[ENTER SYKES dragging OLIVER on stage. OLIVER is anxious and shaking. Pushing
OLIVER over left of stage.]
SYKES: (glancing nervously around and behind him). C’mon, boy get goin’.
20
[Suddenly, loud crash off stage and SYKES drags OLIVER back on stage. OLIVER
scrambles forward and whimpers. There are shouts of ‘STOP THIEF’ off stage .]
SYKES: (angrily dragging OLIVER across stage and towards hall door ) C’mon you miserable
wretch…………. now we’re for it.
[During the NARRATOR’S speech, THE TAVERN scene assembles. SYKES pushes OLIVER
into a corner and sits on lower step with FAGIN. NANCY and the other TAVERNERS
stand on stage.]
NARRATOR: Sykes dragged OLIVER back to the tavern where Fagin and Nancy waited.
With no spoils from the house breaking and the chance of the police looking for him, Sykes
was an angry and dangerous man. Nancy knew she had to find a way to take OLIVER to
where Mr Brownlow would be waiting. She had to find a way. [ NANCY pulls OLIVER to his
feet and runs down centre of hall. SYKES gets to his feet and angrily sees NANCY make
her way round the back and exit.]
SYKES: (very angry and shaking his fist) Nancy! Bring ‘im ‘ere! (runs out of hall)
[MR BROWNLOW stands centre stage, slowly pacing back and fore. NANCY and OLIVER
go round the back of hall and down centre, almost to the front. SYKES closely follows to
stand right of stage.]
[OLIVER steps forward. SYKES runs forward, grabs OLIVER and NANCY and struggles up
centre of hall. Remain there. MR BROWNLOW hears the noise. From back of hall .]
[OLIVER runs off stage and exits. SYKES and NANCY stay at back of hall .]
NARRATOR: Sykes struggled to hold both Nancy and OLIVER. Nancy fought for her life
against him, while OLIVER escaped into the dark and dangerous alleyways. After a brave
fight, Nancy plunged into the dark waters of the Thames.
[FAGIN and BOYS come on stage and look terrified as BILL crashes on stage. ]
FAGIN: (alarmed) Bill, what ‘as ‘appened? Where’s Nancy? Where’s the boy?
BILL: (shouting) Gone, both of them! Nancy, she double-crossed us! She took the boy to
Brownlow! And Nancy…………Nancy………….she’s gone…………deep in the river!
FAGIN: (horrified) What ‘ave you done? What ‘ave you done?
SYKES: You got to ‘elp me. The dog will lead them ‘ere!
FAGIN: Oh no Bill! We can’t ‘elp you! (to the boys) C’mon all of yer it time to leave!
[THE BOYS scurry around grabbing belongings and heading off the stage in all directions.
FAGIN gathers his valuables box and races off stage.
A police whistle sounds off stage, followed by barking. SYKES looks around him scared. ]
SYKES: Oh no. I knew it. That Bulls-Eye (runs off stage to more barks and police whistles )
NARRATOR: The police followed Bulls-Eye. When they caught up with Sykes, he had
climbed onto a roof to escape. Shaking his fist and cursing, he fell from the roof and met a
sorry end!
22
[On stage MR BROWNLOW looking worried. Enter stage right A POLICEMAN with
OLIVER.]
