Delve into Lewis Carroll’s iconic tale and discover the Magic of the Alice in Wonderland Exhibition.
Shakespeare North Playhouse invites you to fall down the rabbit hole and experience a world of imagination and adventure as Prescot celebrates all things Alice in Wonderland. At the heart of this whimsical celebration is the enchanting FREE exhibition Curiouser and Curiouser at Shakespeare North Playhouse, leading seamlessly into the festive previews of Shakespeare North’s Christmas production of Alice in Wonderland.
The enchanting Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition, which opened on Saturday, 22nd November, has captivated attendees with its interactive displays and deep dive into Lewis Carroll’s iconic tale. From seeing illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s original story to crafting their own Alice-inspired creations to meeting the quirky characters of Wonderland, visitors praised the exhibit as "wonderfully imaginative" and "perfect for families.” This interactive exhibition is a great way to re-visit the story, before seeing the production of Alice, or to continue the magical journey after seeing the show.
A Welcome to Wonderland event on Saturday, 23rd November brought Prescot to life, showcasing the rich spirit of the town in a day filled with creativity, collaboration, and festive cheer, as local businesses hosted Wonderland-themed activities and performances that charmed visitors and highlighted the vibrant community spirit of Prescot.
The preview performances of Alice in Wonderland at Shakespeare North Playhouse have left audiences spellbound. The sequel’s inventive storytelling, coupled with dazzling visuals and heartfelt performances, drew rave reviews. The production brings Alice back to Wonderland, now under the icy rule of The Duchess, who uses memory-wiping jam tarts and mysterious eggs to control the kingdom. With her old friends, the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat, Alice must once again rise to the challenge and help restore freedom and joy to Wonderland. Brimming with whimsy, adventure, and heart, this production promises to be a spellbinding experience for all ages.
