Oliver!

Lionel Bart's brilliant musical theatre re-imagining of Oliver Twist.

Magnificently staged, performed and directed, this exuberant film version of Lionel Bart's brilliant musical theatre re-imagining of Oliver Twist is stuffed with classic songs ('Consider Yourself', 'He Needs Me', 'I'm Reviewing The Situation', to name but three) and outstanding set pieces. Massively popular, deservedly Oscar-winning, Oliver! has, for some reason, not been properly recognised for what it is - the last great achievement of Carol Reed's outstanding canon of films, to rank alongside Odd Man Out and The Third Man.

We are delighted to announce that actors Ron Moody, Mark Lester and Kenneth Cranham will take part in a Q&A following the screening on 3 March.

On Sun 11 Mar, as an additional little treat, to put Oliver! into context, we are also showing some extracts from other musical versions of Dickens's work.
