Synopsis

The White Rabbit is late for the Duchess.

The Cheshire Cat won't stop grinning.

And the Hatter is, well, mad.

In the middle of it all is Alice, a young girl with a vivid imagination and a family life that's less than perfect.

In this new adaptation by renowned playwright and Sheffield native, Laura Wade, you can follow Alice as she escapes her bedroom to find adventure in a topsy-turvy world.

Based on Lewis Carroll's classic tale, Wade's adaptation breathes fresh life into a much-loved story about rabbit holes, pocket watches and talking caterpillars.
