Radio theater may be a lost or dying art, but don't tell the folks at Focus on the Family. They have produced some great programs over the years, including the long-running Adventures in Odyssey and the fantastic Chronicles of Narnia adaptation. They have outdone themselves with this new adaptation of Charles Dickens's classic Oliver Twist.With a wide-ranging, talented British cast, the voices are convincingly right out of 19th century London. The sound effects and music add dramatic tension and draw the story along. Although it's only about 5 1/2 hours long, this production captures the essence of the book. I haven't done a line-by-line comparison, but my assumption is that much of the text and dialogue are Dickens's own words.By updating this classic tale, while remaining true to the source, the Focus on the Family team has provided a terrific springboard for some moral and spiritual lessons. In spite of great temptation and the threat of mistreatment, Oliver knows right from wrong and demonstrates the difficulty of making moral choices under duress. The characters remind us repeatedly that we are not imprisoned by our past, whether choices or circumstances, and the redemption is available.A radio or TV program is never a substitute for an original work of literature, but this audio program will enhance your family's enjoyment of Dickens's story. Some listeners might have a bit of difficulty with the accents and occasional archaic language, but most children will be drawn into Oliver's world. Thanks to Focus on the Family for this well-done, accessible production which beautifully captures the moral lessons and compelling story of Oliver Twist.
