EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND

The international hit of Lewis Carroll's beloved tale of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland returns to the stage of the Athenaeum Theatre at 7pm on Thursday, January 10, as part of a Victorian tour and we have five doubles to join the opening night audience. With Alice in the lead, you'll join a lively cast of actors and puppeteers – the Tweedle twins, the White Rabbit, the plump old Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter among them – as they venture down the rabbit hole decked out in their lavish costumes and into a Wonderland like no other. For your chance to join them, send your details to [email protected] to arrive by midnight tonight.
