ABOUT ALICE IN WONDERLAND BY GEOFF AYMER
Geoff Aymer’s vibrant script brings fresh humour and contemporary resonance to Lewis Carroll’s classic, while director Suzann McLean — honoured with an MBE for services to the arts and young people — leads a creative team that promises dazzling visuals, original music, and unforgettable characters.
Writer Geoff Aymer shares what inspired this fresh take on the classic tale, “It’s what happens when a young girl is transported into a surreal world with no devices, where she can only use her wits and intellect to navigate the strangeness. Alice in Wonderland is a celebration of curiosity, courage and rediscovering the magic that lives beyond the screen.”
With an energetic score blending reggae, soul, and feel-good sing-along tunes by composer Jordan Xavier, Alice in Wonderland has a distinctly Peckham twist. It’s a bold, joyful, and unpredictable festive adventure for the whole family, and a standout production this December.
