'Rafferty impressed with his screen presence and his edginess brings a whole new dimension to the role of Oliver. It’s an all-star cast with David in the mix after arriving at today's first rehearsal – not to mention Rita and Sir Michael Caine.'In the new production, Oliver and Dodge get caught up in a heist to steal a priceless painting for master thief, Fagin. On playing the villain, thespian Michael said: 'Fagin is such an infamous character, it’s going to be great fun playing him. 'I’m really looking forward to working with Lena, Raff and the rest of the cast in London when we start shooting.' Rafferty added: 'I’m excited to play such a well-loved literary character. I’m looking forward to working with Martin Owen to bring to life his new take on the character in modern-day London.'  Twist will be released on Sky Cinema and in theatres across the United Kingdom on the same day in 2020.
