Oliver Twist background

Oliver Twist

Oliver Twist, an orphan, encounters a pickpocket on the streets of London and subsequently joins a group of boys trained to steal for their master.

Born in a stormy workhouse, Oliver Twist begins his life under parish care, subjected to harsh conditions and meager rations. As he grows older, his journey takes him from the countryside to London, where he faces a tumultuous array of experiences, including mistreatment, kindness, and encounters with an undertaker and thieves. Along the way, he forms alliances and rivalries, all while being pursued by the enigmatic Monks, who seeks to transform Oliver into a thief.
