If you are looking for a perfect family night out to the theatre, then look no further than Unexpected Twist. The musical play is Michael Rosen's re-telling of the classic Charles Dickens tale Oliver Twist in a modern setting, however, it was even better than I could have imagined.
Right from the start, the audience was told that no instruments or soundtracks would be used and that all sounds heard were performed live on the stage. The play follows the life of Shona, a young girl from a struggling family who is starting at a new school.
It's not long before Shona is whisked into a life of crime in return for the things she thought she desperately wanted, such as a phone and extra cash for her family. Although she soon realises thanks to her teacher, family and friends that she is in over her head and needs to get out before it's too late.
