By Lewis Carroll adapted for the stage and directed by Barry Brown

A new treatment of Lewis Carroll's books, featuring all their best-loved characters,

Alice disrupts Lewis Carroll's earnest Christmas lecture to explore the far more entertaining world of his surreal imagination to meet the Mad Hatter, March Hare, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the Red and White Queens, the White Knight, Humpty Dumpty and many more.

Overall, this was a wonderfully silly, entertaining evening which did full justice to Lewis Carroll’s writing, delivered by a hugely talented cast and production team who clearly bought into the final spoken line: ‘Now that you are grown up, your life will be full of nonsense’.
