The timeless story of Alice in Wonderland is a classic that appeals our sense of childlike wonder, while also exploring themes of growing up and the social pressures that come with it. Now, that story comes to Melbourne for four days of performances chronicling Alice's adventures down the rabbit hole.
Playing at the Athenaeum Theatre, the internationally acclaimed Alice in Wonderland: Lewis Carroll’s Timeless Classic will bring to life much-loved characters from the White Rabbit and the Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts, led by a cast of talented actors. Audiences can expect bright costuming, ingenious stagecraft techniques and imaginative puppetry that promises to excite the entire family.
Directed and adapted by Penny Farrow, the production stays true in many ways to the original book. With plenty of wordplay and humour for the adults, and colourful scenes and physical comedy for the kids, it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Alice in Wonderland: Lewis Carroll’s Timeless Classic arrives at the Athenaeum Theatre on January 15. Grab your tickets from $39.90 at the website to join Alice on her adventures.
