SCREENINGS ARE UPDATED AND ADDED ON A DAILY BASIS, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK REGULARLY TO SEE IF YOUR LOCAL CINEMA IS SHOWING THIS PRODUCTION

Those familiar with Lewis Carroll’s literary menagerie of colourful characters will enjoy the
clarity with which Christopher Wheeldon portrays them in dance. The whole Company is
drawn into the fun, dancing a myriad of quirky characters: a twitchy White Rabbit, a tap
dancing Mad Hatter, a sinuous caterpillar and so many more. Alice and the Knave of
Hearts, deftly danced by two Royal Ballet Principal dancers, are at the centre of the story,
and the role of The Queen of Hearts, another Principal, is wittily captured with hilarious
results. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a brilliantly imagined show and, with a magical
score, ingeniously inventive designs and a wealth of theatrical effects, has something for
everyone to treasure.
