Alice in Wonderland

A Brixton House and Poltergeist Production. Directed by Jack Bradfield. Created by Poltergeist.

After an explosive argument with Mum on a Victoria line station, eleven-year-old Alice leaps onto the tube seconds before the doors hiss shut.

Trapped on a train speeding into Nonsense, surrounded by weird and wonderful passengers, and at the mercy of a Queen who won’t relinquish the controls, can Alice turn this train around?

Multi-award-winning company Poltergeist weaves rap music together with the sights and sounds of Brixton into a hundred-mile-an-hour Christmas adventure.

Nominated for 7 OffWestEnd Awards, Winner of 3 Black British Theatre Awards.

“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…fantastic.” ★★★★★  The Stage
