Queen's Theatre Presents FAGIN'S TWIST this Month

Fagin's Twist is the untold story of Charles Dickens' notorious villain and is bought to life using explosive energy, electrifying choreography and emotional-fuelled creativity. This street dance filled show bursts onto the Queen's Theatre stage from 21 - 23 September.

We all know Oliver Twist, but what if Oliver wasn't the hero of his story? Fresh from its critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Avant Garde Dance's Fagin's Twist features five of the familiar Oliver Twist characters, Oliver, Fagin, Bill Sykes, Nancy and the Artful Dodger but reimagines the paths of their lives and individual circumstances. The show tells the tale of Fagin's youth, driven by greed and ambition in the face of overwhelming poverty.

Choreographer Tony Adigun adds a twist to this classic tale to create a poignant, coming-of-age show which draws parallels between Victorian London and today's modern society.

This high-energy show is one for the whole family to enjoy together!
