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.

Lots of overacting

Huge fan of Oliver Twist, but this whole production felt like a high school drama.

Loved it

Great story and performance! Would definitely recommend! My husband and I listened together and both of us really enjoyed it

Oliver Twist- Enjoy!

Excellent adaptation of a classic tale. Really Really enjoyed it! The actors, music and production were very good!

A good shot cut and maybe better

Since Dickens paid by the word, his novels can be tedious and exceedingly long. This is a pleasure to hear, and has been wonderfully acted. While not completely faithful to the original, it certainly hits all the major points in this compressed version. The performance is superb. Every single character isbeautifully portrayed. It's a great listen. But if you have to write an original book report, some of the corners that are cut will catch you out. Beware!

great listen

kept me entertained, even though the story was a bit abbreviated.....love Brian Cox. Lovely escape

A classic story well executed

I really enjoyed the selection of voices, music and sound effects. Well worth the listen even if you know the story.

This was a good dramatization

As much as I love A Christmas Carol I've never picked up this story. It was fun and I enjoyed it.

3.5 stars

Great job

Great job of making the massive book into a quick audio experience. Hits all the highs of the story.

A Timeless Classic

I have loved “tOliver Twist”the movie since my childhood. And, now, hearing it coming to life on audio reminded me of listening to our favorite stories on vinyl records like “Peter Rabbit” and such.
Awesome job across the board!

Great performance of a classic!

Well acted/performed, good pacing. Some nice modern enhancements to this classic story. Builds to a satisfying climax!
