Charles Dickens, who would have guessed??

In just 6 weeks Kampala Amateur Drama Society will present Oliver! the Musical, with a cast of 54 people. Since I am helping with costumes, it was time for me to read Oliver Twist. It was amazing, a snap shot of London's values and culture, set in early 1600's. Dickens published it as a newspaper serial, writing it when he was only 24 years old!!

The musical will be great fun, lots of catchy songs that will have people humming for weeks afterwards and the plot has lots of food for thought.

Buy tickets early if you plan to see it. The 8 performances will be sold out fast.
