Peoples Theatre

The universal appeal of ALICE IN WONDERLAND can best be summed up in the words of Sir Walter Besant who wrote at the time
"Alice in Wonderland is the only child's book, perhaps, which can be read with equal pleasure by young and old." It is also the only children's book of nonsense which is never childish though it always appeals to the child; it is a book of that extremely rare kind which will belong to all the generations to come."

The strong cast of this colourful musical immerse themselves in the joy fun and fantasy of true children's theatre and enthuse their audiences with meaningful audience participation. In addition to the ever-buoyant white rabbit that travels through the audience to meet the Queen and King of Hearts, we meet Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, the Duchess and of course the enchanting Alice. The Mad Hatters tea party will make you feel as though YOU fell down the rabbit hole and were carried away by the fantasy of it all.

A delightful colourful set by Marius Boshoff, elaborate costumes by Linda Wilson, great songs and direction by the celebrated Jill Girard and Keith Smith, Alice is a sure winner and great family entertainment.

At all times PEOPLES THEATRE strives to be sensitive to the voiced needs of the children and adopts a flexible approach to it's work, whilst ensuring that this proceeds from a strong educational base. We need your support in order that children's theatre may grow, develop and achieve its aim to encourage a lifetime of theatre going.
