Actors and audiences alike will enjoy this clever play full of wisecracking dialog that keeps this show moving from laugh to laugh. And directors will love that it’s easy to stage with simple sets. It’s a double spoof - a parody of Dickens’ classic work inside a take-off of the early TV private-eye shows. Every character is a hilarious cartoon-image of a traditional, archetypical character. For instance, there’s Mrs. Bumble, the cruel and selfish head of the orphanage, and Fay Gunn, the seductive leader of the young boy pickpockets. ’Famous’ private eye Chuck Dickens is hired by a wealthy society matron to find the lost orphan Oliver Twist. The PI’s total ineptness is exceeded only by the silly devotion of his adoring Girl Friday. When she and Bill Sikes find Oliver and save him from a life of delinquency, the ’world’s greatest detective,’ Chuck Dickens, once again takes credit for solving the mystery though he contributed nothing but confusion... and loads of silly fun.
