A thrilling and engaging adaptation from Roy Williams of the Michael Rosen novel Unexpected Twist, featuring great duologues, songs, and raps for young performers aged 13-18.
No matter how hard we try, we just can't get out. It's like we are not allowed to.
Some give up and say, alright then, if you won't give, I will bloody well take.
And you know what Shona, I don't blame them.
Shona and her class are studying the Charles Dickens classic, Oliver Twist. She's the new girl in school and is finding it hard to stay out of trouble - much like Oliver himself!
When she's given a new phone by a stranger, she begins to suspect there's something unusual about the new boys she's met. Unexpected Twist is a re-telling of Oliver Twist by one of the best-loved figures in the children's book world, Michael Rosen.
This thrilling story was brought to vivid life by The Children's Theatre Partnership, and Royal & Derngate, Northampton, whose co-productions have included Holes and The Jungle Book. Directed by James Dacre (2020 Olivier Award nominated Our Lady of Kibeho), Rosen's novel was adapted for the stage by BAFTA award-winning playwright Roy Williams (Death of England, Sucker Punch) with original music by rising R&B star Yaya Bey and BAC Beatbox Academy's Conrad Murray.
This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere and UK tour, in April 2023.
