After an explosive argument with Mum at Brixton underground station, eleven-year-old Alice leaps onto the tube seconds before the doors hiss shut.

REVIEWS:

"Inventive, rap-infused, Tube-set staging of the Lewis Carroll classic."

 The Stage

"Brilliantly conceived and executed family show rooted, in every sense, in its local community... Jack Bradfield has pulled off that wonderful trick of writing a script that appeals in equal measure to kids and adults, with a running gag integrating tube stations into the dialogue (an old Two Ronnies sketch that one) and many in-jokes for fans of the source novel to leaven the slapstick."

 Broadway World

"Gerel Falconer’s dynamic rap lyrics."

 The Guardian

"How do you adapt a text that has been endlessly reworked for screen, stage and art, with characters who are ingrained into our collective cultural psyche? You do it exactly like this."

 The Stage

"Energetic and imaginative."

 Everything Theatre

"This is a wonderfully produced Alice In Wonderland that’s underpinned by some top-class writing."

 LondonTheatre1

"Moving, memorable and creatively realised, Alice in Wonderland is a fantastically original update of the classic text."

 The Reviews Hub

"The script by Jack Bradfield is imaginative and filled with puns, jokes and references to a good many underground stations... and brilliantly complemented by extremely impressive (and awfully catchy) rap lyrics by Gerel Falconer."
