Curious tale delights at Derby Theatre

Alice in Wonderland, Derby Theatre's big, family-friendly festive production, is now open and wowing audiences of all ages.

Olivier award-winning playwright Mike Kenny gives Lewis Carroll’s original much-loved classic tale an exciting new twist in a must-see new production.

Alice is an ordinary girl, anxious about a big day at school, when suddenly she falls down a rabbit hole and everything goes a bit strange. Plunged into a bonkers world, ruled by The Queen of Hearts, from the present time

and place, Alice meets all the familiar characters of Carroll’s tale, the White Rabbit, The Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar and Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee, but she notices they bear a rather odd resemblance to her friends, her teachers, her family and the school bullies!

Can she make sense of it, and find a way out, and how can she wake up from this dream when she’s not even aware that she’s asleep?

So join Alice, The Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Dormouse at Derby Theatre for an evening of sheer madness, where not everything is as it seems.

Alice in Wonderland runs until Saturday, January 7, and tickets range from £12 to £28, with concession and group rates available. For more information and to book tickets for one, or both, shows call the box office on 01332
