RANGI RURU JUNIOR
PRODUCTION
Alice In Wonderland is a fresh
adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s
familiar classic. Incorporating
dance, a mixture of live and
recorded music and beautiful
costumes, Rangi Ruru’s
production focuses on the
dreamlike nature of the Alice
story. As Alice travels through
Wonderland, she copes with
her changing shape and size,
as well as encountering many
bizarre characters and situations.
This is a coming of age tale we
can all identify with, even into
adulthood.
