ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND<br />
AT THE VAULTS<br />
The critically acclaimed immersive<br />
theatre experience, Adventures in<br />
Wonderland’, created and directed<br />
specifically for children aged 5 to 10<br />
returns to The Vaults from 13 May.<br />
Pushing the boundaries of children’s<br />
theatre, the production allows families to<br />
explore Wonderland up close, in an<br />
immense multi-room set in the Vaults<br />
under Waterloo station. In this hour long<br />
show, children will play a part in<br />
controlling their own experience, as they<br />
search for Alice, who is missing in<br />
Wonderland. On entering the space, the<br />
audience will either ‘Eat me’ or ‘Drink<br />
Me’, which determines a unique path.<br />
Tumble with the Tweedle twins; follow<br />
the White Rabbit and take Tea with the<br />
Hatter at the Maddest Tea Party of all!<br />
Adventures in Wonderland was<br />
originally conceived as a celebration of<br />
the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s<br />
novel. Box Office tel: 0844 248 1<strong>12</strong>5.<br />

LONDON PREMIERE OF DRIFTWOOD<br />
FROM AUSTRALIAN CIRCUS CASUS<br />
International circus sensation,<br />
renowned for their aesthetic of delicately<br />
human circus, Casus, will bring their<br />
new show Driftwood to London for the<br />
first time from 4 May to 4 June.<br />
As we drift along the current of life we<br />
are shaped by the humans we encounter.<br />
The stories of our loved ones, our<br />
enemies and complete strangers guide<br />
us and determine the person we<br />
become. In this colourful and turbulent<br />
concoction of pure joy and intimacy, the<br />
audience will watch Casus bring a blank<br />
canvas to life and revel in our innate<br />
need for human contact. This is a circus<br />
show that does not let you forget that to<br />
feel is to be human and in a moment of<br />
danger, a grasping hold is survival.<br />
Unique acrobatic shapes, signature to<br />
Casus, abound in this journey of<br />
explosive encounters, hidden looks, and<br />
humorous discoveries.<br />

NATURALLY 7 LONDON SHOW<br />
Having performed as special guests<br />
at the behest of Coldplay and completed<br />
world tours with Michael Bublé<br />
(including 10 show’s at London’s O2<br />
Arena), it’s fair to say that Naturally 7<br />
have a lot of admirers.<br />
What makes them special is that<br />
every instrument sound that they sing is<br />
created from the human voice. There are<br />
no actual drums, guitars, horns, flutes,<br />
or any other instrument that is heard<br />
when listening to them perform; it’s the<br />
band members playing each of their<br />
vocal instruments.<br />
The group, formed by Roger Thomas<br />
in New York in the late 90s, will be<br />
bringing tracks from their critically<br />
acclaimed 2015 album ‘Hidden In Plain<br />
Sight’ to London, having previously<br />
wowed crowds on these shores on the<br />
Royal Variety Performance, as well as<br />
performing a special show at the Royal<br />
Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms.<br />
Naturally 7’s unique style, which they<br />
have dubbed ‘Vocal Play’, has wowed<br />
audiences worldwide and their<br />
collaborations with not only Bublé, but<br />
also Quincy Jones and Ludacris, lay<br />
testament to their appeal.<br />
A Cappella pioneers Naturally 7 will be<br />
returning to the capital on Wednesday<br />
<strong>17</strong> May to perform a headline show at<br />
the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. For<br />
