THE ARTFUL DODGER
1ST IMAGES FROM NEW SERIES
Disney Plus has sent us the first images from their new Dickens' adaptation THE ARTFUL DODGER which will premiere November 29th with Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis and Maia Mitchell
leading the cast.
An irreverent follow up to Dickens' Oliver Twist the eight part series is exploring the adult double life of Charles Dickens' famous prince of thieves. Set in 1850's Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, we meet 
Jack Dawkins, The Artful Dodger, who's transferred his fast fingers as a pickpocket to the nimble skilled fingers of a surgeon. Dodger's past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, luring him back into a world of crime. A
greater threat to Dodger's heart is Lady Belle, the Governor's daughter, determined to become the colony's first female surgeon. From heists to life-and-death surgeries, from soirées to street violence, this is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption and love with a twist.

Sounds like a soap opera LOL. We do love stories of betrayal, redemption, and love though!
ReplyDeleteI am still on the fence whether to watch it or not, as I do not like shows which celebrate criminals and turn them into heroes.
DeleteI'll probably watch it. It does seem like one I'd like.
DeleteHope it won't disappoint you.
