Newcastle-based theatre company StageFOCUS
returns to the Castle Keep with its delightful stage
version of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in
Wonderland.
Alice, a bright young girl with an eager sense of
fun, one day falls into a mysteriously deep hole and
into a land of topsy-turvy order. Hoping to find her
way back to her 'normal' life, she sets off on and
adventure like no other. On her way through this Mad
World she discusses language and history with Animals
(including the extinct Dodo), discusses etiquette and
sensibility with a March Hare and a Mad Hatter at a
Tea Party where it's always tea-time, and takes part
in a most comically ludicrous trial presided over by
the King and Queen of Hearts, as well as having many
more adventures!
But amongst the anarchic humour and sparkling
wordplay, puzzles and riddles are poignant moments of
nostagia for a lost childhood.
Performed in the atmospheric surroundings of the
Castle Keep, Lewis Carroll's most well-known text is
brought to life in a wonderfully colourful and
innovative fashion, offering moments of comedy,
creativity, compassion and insanity.
Featuring popular characters such as The Caterpillar
and The Cheshire Cat, this play is a must for all
Lewis Carroll and 'Alice' fans.
