Lewis Carroll tells his most famous stories to his niece Alice, bringing to life the Mad Hatter, Red Queen, Cheshire Cat and many more well loved characters that embody the illogical and nonsensical adult world, and illuminate the complex life of the whimsical and often melancholy author.
‘Haunting and enchanting… ninety minutes of sheer uninterrupted magic.’
JOHN PETER, SUNDAY TIMES (LONDON)
“Crisp direction, engaging set design, a masterclass in acting, engaging performances, physicality impeccable, skill that demonstrates the depth of talent we have in Tasmania. A fine performance.”
Danny Gibson | Examiner, Review
“We thoroughly enjoyed the performance last night.. stunningly enthralling, we hung on every action and word. We smiled or laughed almost all the way through, enjoying the characters and their superb acting (in) this amazing performance.”
