Box Tale Soup’s version of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland features a cast of stunning, colourful puppets, a beautiful set that unfolds from a vintage trunk, and a magical soundtrack of original music. From the surprising appearance of the Cheshire Cat to the madness of the Tea Party, this is a constantly inventive and refreshing take on Carroll’s classic work.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland follows Alice on her remarkable journey, from her fleeting encounters with the White Rabbit to her eventual showdown with the crazed Queen of Hearts. A confrontational Caterpillar, Ukelele twanging Tweedle twins and an array of others pop up along the way, before Alice comes face to face with her own imagination and perhaps the author of her dreams.
Drawing on the wealth of peculiar episodes from both ‘Adventures in Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass’, Box Tale Soup invite you down the rabbit hole into a timeless world of wondrous fantasy.
Carroll’s Wonderland floods onto the stage in a whirl of strange contraptions and curious characters. No matter how young or old, everyone will find their own moment of magic in Wonderland and make it safely home again – the only danger is, you may not want to leave!
