Event information
By Carl Prekopp
A stage adaptation from ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll
Performed by BA (Hons) Acting (Musical Theatre)
In collaboration with BA (Hons) Theatre Practice, MFA Scenography & MFA Movement: Directing and Teaching students
Overview
Curiouser and curiouser – follow us down the rabbit hole where we find Alice, not as the little girl we thought we always knew, but as her older self, in a muddle of memories where the lines between reality and make believe have become blurred.
We meet all the iconic characters in a dark re-imagining of Lewis Carrol’s extraordinary world that explores the power and fragility of the human mind.
Written and directed by Carl Prekopp, with live music composed and performed by the cast, this new play offers an imaginative vision of Alice which will take the audience on a magical ride through Wonderland.
By arrangement with Almost Tangible Ltd.
