It may not much resemble the story from the original book, but I’d stake a large amount of money that Lewis Carroll would be cheering this version of his children’s classic as loudly as any of the Royal Theatre audience.
The reason is simple: Phil Porter’s smart, witty and extremely silly adaptation pays appropriate and affectionate tribute to the source material by capturing exactly the essence of its zaniness and illogicality, while simultaneously creating a piece of theatre that is fast, hugely entertaining and utterly hilarious.
He’s considerably aided in this objective by the two co-directors, Dani Parr and Laurie Sansom, in whose hands this wonderful slice of nonsense is endlessly inventive and tear-inducingly funny – and that applies as much for the grown-ups as for the children.

Lucy Blunt - 27 December 2011:
It was a brilliant play with a very interesting storyline. There was a funny twist with the story in that instead of the story being all about Alice the other characters were more involved. It was played at the Royal Derngate Theatre in North Hampton, the building itself was very old and Architectural. The ceiling was mesmerising. The main character Alice was played by Jill McAusland and I personally think that she did very well with her characterisation as you could really believe the whole play. I enjoyed the music as it was very well rehearsed ,the music fitted in very well with all of the songs and I think that also they instruments used were quite appropriate as well, they were drums and a saxophone, not to mention a number of many different sound effects! I felt that the audience were really involved with the performance as not only were the songs performed by the actors, there was a song that the auadience joined in with to not only this but the actors came out into the audience seats! I would give this play a 10 I really loved it and enjoyed myself. ...
