by fantastic performances, 

masterful puppetry, a beautiful 

set that unfolds from a vintage 

trunk and magical original 

music. An endlessly enjoyable 

take on Lewis Carroll's wellloved 

tale for children and 

adults alike, as wonderful as 

any wonderland could be. 

‘Loaded with charm... 

ingenious.’

‘I was completely 

mesmerised by this
