This festive season, let Shakespeare North Playhouse whisk your group away with this marvelously whimsical festive tale – a sequel to the cherished classic you know and love, Alice in Wonderland - featuring all your favourite Wonderland characters.
Alice has always told her children stories of her adventures in a faraway world, not that they believe her. Even Alice has begun to doubt whether she’d really lived that daydream. Until, one Christmas Eve, caught up in the chaos of last-minute shopping, a flash of white fur lures Alice back into an all too familiar story.
Wonderland has fallen into the terrible rule of The Duchess, the cold-hard successor to the Queen of Hearts. Memory-wiping jam tarts and informant eggs control the kingdom and make everyone miserable. Once again, Alice’s old friends, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat need her help to restore freedom to Wonderland.
Alice, however, is more bothered about getting back to her family in time for Christmas. Groups of ten or more can benefit from discounted rates.
Written by Nick Lane (A Christmas Carol) and directed by Nathan Powell (newly announced creative director of Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse) - Alice in Wonderland will star Helen Carter as Alice alongside a wonderful cast of multi-talented performers.
Director Nathan Powell, said: “The winter holidays are such a magic moment in the theatre calendar, and I can’t wait to play my part and work with the Shakespeare North team to share in some silly, wacky, festive joy with audiences in Prescot.”
“With thousands of seats already sold, don’t miss out on a magical trip to the theatre this Christmas time. Music, dancing, astonishing acrobatics and loads of laughter await.”
Catch Alice in Wonderland on the Cockpit stage at Shakespeare North in Prescot, Liverpool from Friday 22nd November until Saturday 11th January.
