PICT Classic Theatre presents a gritty version of Charles Dickens’ classic

Post-Gazette.com – Homer, Shakespeare, Cervantes – whatever their genres, the great authors were always great storytellers. Victorian novelist Charles Dickens (1812-70) belongs in that elite company, and although he wrote little for theater, he had a very high dramatic sense and there have always been those to adapt his wonderful stories for the stage. ‘Oliver Twist’ Where: PICT Classic Theatre at Stephen Foster Memorial, Oakland. When: Through Dec. 19; 8 p.m. Wed.-Sat., 2 p.m. Sun. Tickets: $13-$48; picttheatre.org or 412-561-6000 —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
