A new version of Alice In Wonderland, set in and around its home town of Prescot, will be Shakespeare North Playhouse's Christmas show from November 22-January 5.
With Merseyside actress Helen Carter (Boys From The Blackstuff and numerous roles at Liverpool's Royal Court and Everyman/Playhouse theatres) in the lead role, it is written by Nick Lane and directed by Nathan Powell, the new creative director at the Everyman/Playhouse.
Alice has always told her children stories of her adventures in a faraway world – not that they believe her and even Alice has begun to doubt whether she really lived that daydream until, one Christmas Eve, a flash of white fur lures her back into the all-too-familiar story…
Nathan Powell said, “The winter holidays are such a magic moment in the theatre calendar and I can’t wait to share in some silly, wacky, festive joy with audiences in Prescot!”
Shakespeare North Playhouse creative director, Laura Collier, said, “Nick Lane captivated our audiences with his version of A Christmas Carol in 2022. The beloved and whimsical world of Wonderland will now get Nick's unique twist."
