Last week, Disney+'s The Artful Dodger hosted its Australian premiere in Sydney. We spoke to stars David Thewlis, Damon Herriman, Miranda Tapsell, Tim Minchin, Jessica De Gouw, Nicholas Burton, Kim Gyngell, Damien Garvey, Susie Porter, Lucy-Rose Leonard and The Rions.
Set in 1850s Australia, in the lively colony of Port Victory, Jack Dawkins, aka The Artful Dodger, is now a surgeon who still has a penchant for crime. When Dodger’s past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, he is lured back into a world of crime. From heists to life-and-death surgeries, to the harsh realities of the criminal world mingling with the middle ground and gentry, this is a tale of reinvention, betrayal, redemption, and love with a twist.
