Fagin's Rant
Embedded Files
From the world of Charles Dickens comes a fresh twist: Fagin-funnier, craftier, and unlike anything you've seen before. In a Victorian tavern, he rants against hypocrisy, wrestles with betrayal, and leaves you guessing: broken or plotting?

London Screening - December 12th, 2025
Fagin’s Rant, was first screened on 12 December 2025 at the Karma Sanctum Hotel in Soho, London. Following the screening, Benjamin was once again interviewed by Ron Fogelman, this time alongside lead actor Richard Ashton, who portrays the sinister Fagin in the film. During the Q&A, they discussed the origins of the project and explored their respective careers in greater depth.
The short film will now be used as a pitch for an expanded feature-length episode of approximately 30 minutes, conceived as a television special titled Fagin: The Lost Chapter. The proposed project will further explore Ashton’s interpretation of Fagin, delving deeper into the character’s backstory through additional flashbacks and the inclusion of well-known characters from Oliver Twist.
