Synopsis

Media darling Oliver Twist has gone from a lowly orphan to an anxiety-ridden corporate spokesperson, pitching everything from juicers to cereal and tofu by reenacting his days in the workhouse and subsequent adventures.

But Oliver’s monopoly on the inspirational rags-to-riches story is threatened when Tiny Tim throws aside his crutches and decides to run the marathon.

Tiny Tim has the chance to inspire millions, but with a homicidal trio of fairytale princesses, scheming Corporate Mommy and Daddy and meddling friends and family, Tiny Tim may not make it to the starting line.

(A full-length version of this play is also available under the title Tiny Tim Runs the Marathon .)
