An imaginative new adaptation of Alice in Wonderland set during WW1, featuring innovative puppetry and live music.

Bombs rain down. Sheltering in her dusty cellar, Alice rediscovers her past amongst old lamp shades & moth-eaten christening gowns. Meanwhile her son Alan, a WW1 soldier, makes the same imaginary journey down the rabbit hole to escape the madness of the trenches, returning them both to a wonderland of talking rabbits, mad hatters & savage queens.

Based on Lewis Carroll’s literary classic & the real life Alice who inspired it, Metta Theatre bring this charming new play imaginatively to life with live music, puppetry & object manipulation.

Starring Jack Parker (War Horse, A Dog’s Heart) & Mandy Travis (25 Little Angel Theatre productions, Muppets Most Wanted).
