The Torch Theatre’s Movies and Memories film screenings are back on Tuesday 19th April, and this month’s offering is the classic retelling of one of Charles Dicken’s bestselling novels, Oliver!

This award-winning adaptation of the Broadway musical was first screened in 1968, telling the story of 9-year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) who falls in with a group of street-urchin pickpockets led by the Artful Dodger (Jack Wild) and masterminded by the criminal Fagin (Ron Moody).

When Oliver’s intended mark, Mr. Brownlow (Joseph O’Conor), takes pity on the lad and offers him a home, Fagin’s henchman Bill Sikes (Oliver Reed) plots to kidnap the boy to keep him from talking.

The Movies and Memories screenings launched in 2019 with great success. They are a collaboration between the Torch Theatre and PAVS (Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services).

The aim of the Movies and Memories screenings is to provide a safe space and comforting environment for those wanting to attend, with a particular focus on the elderly and those suffering with dementia or memory loss and their families. Although everyone is welcome to attend the screenings, which take place on a monthly basis.
