The story of Alice Through the Looking-Glass is a real family favourite, following Alice's fantastical adventures
in the strange world she enters through the mirror above her drawing-room fireplace.
What she finds there is a world laid out in the form of a giant chess board and before long Alice finds herself
entering the game as a white pawn. The story follows her travels across the board until she is crowned queen
at the eighth square and along the way she encounters some of Carroll's most memorable and enduring
characters, among them Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Walrus and the Carpenter, The Lion and the
Unicorn, and the Jabberwock. The piece is also filled with many fine nonsense poems and songs which are
still quoted today.
This is a brand new adaptation by Michael Whitmore, faithfully charting the fabulous, wonderful and rather
perplexing world created by the great Lewis Carroll, retaining the humour and quirkiness we've all come
to hold dear in these classic tales: truly a show for all the family.
