London, 1940. Deep in the London Underground, Alice and Alfred wait out the Blitz in the dark. With the world above on fire, they cling to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a story they know by heart. But the further they fall down the rabbit hole, the stranger things become. Faces blur. Time slips. Familiar characters emerge, but not as they should be. Presented by LAMDA’s Musical Theatre ensemble, this captivating musical from the award-winning creators of Spring Awakening explores the comforting yet corrosive power of imagination. Mind the gap between reality and wonderland.
