Alice
based on the story by Lewis Carroll
directed by Liam Shea
"We're all mad here!" Alice is having a rough time and her family situation is less than perfect. The world outside her front door seems terrifying but when a White Rabbit grabs her hand and leads her down a washlet, shes pulled into a fun world she didn't see before. A world where Sumo wrestlers recite poetry, expat wives keep pigs for babies, and having a cup of tea is like an assault course.
Take a trip with Alice this Winter, have fun whilst she discovers that home is where the heart is.
