At a garden party on a sunny afternoon, Alice is surprised to see her parents’ friend Lewis Carroll
transform into a white rabbit. When she follows him down a rabbit hole, events become curiouser
and curiouser…As Alice journeys through Wonderland, she encounters countless strange creatures.
She’s swept off her feet by the charming Knave of Hearts, who’s on the run for stealing the tarts.
Confusion piles upon confusion. Then Alice wakes with a start. Was it all a daydream?
Christopher Wheeldon’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland burst onto the stage in 2011 in an
explosion of colour, stage magic and inventive, sophisticated choreography. Joby Talbot’s score
combines contemporary soundworlds with sweeping melodies that gesture to ballet scores of the
19th century. Bob Crowley’s wildly imaginative, eye-popping designs draw on everything from
puppetry to projections to make Wonderland wonderfully real. The result shows The Royal Ballet at
its best, bringing together world-class dance with enchanting family entertainment and ingenious
music and design.
