2013 – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

With music by Richard Addinsell
Dramatised by Clemence Dane

On a drowsy sunny afternoon a little girl called Alice has a dream. She follows a nervy White Rabbit down a tunnel and is catapulted into an upside down world where nothing is what it seems – all wonder and whimsy. From the insanity of the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to the less familiar, but equally eccentric and quirky, courts of the Red and White Queens, generations have been enchanted by Lewis Carroll’s tales of Alice’s adventures.

In a world where imagination and creativity have been taken over by computer games and television, “Alice in Wonderland” is a reminder that imagination is one of hte most precious tools a child psossesses. The dream world in which Alive finds herself is here conjured out of her nursery.

It is a place not only full of humour and off-the-wall characters, but also delicious spite and malice.
