Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland comes to Grow Heathrow. It’s true! Over the past year and a half Grow Heathrow has hosted many political gatherings, direct action trainings, workshops, skillshares, community gatherings and has generally provided an alternative lifestyle to capitalism but to be honest – all we have ever really wanted to do is sit and drink tea and watch Alice in Wonderland. And now we can!

Jabberwocky Theatre Productions presents:

‘Waiting for Alice’ – a play by Holly Race Roughan & Alex Woolf

4 pm, Sunday, 11th September 2011, Grow Heathrow, Ticket prices: Pay what you like.

The stage is littered with gleaming teacups. Sat around a long table are figures in rusting top hats and cobwebbed jackets. They sit. Tea is poured. They drink. They wait. Tea is poured. They sip. They wait. Absurd, comic and sharp, this is an explosive piece of new writing from Bristol’s critically acclaimed company Jabberwocky. Why is a raven like a writing desk? Where or what is Alice? A dark secret lurks in the dregs of these cups.

Directed by Holly Race Roughan with Assistant Director, Alex Woolf Produced by Katie Pesskin with Assistant Producer, Lara Taylor

Cast: Holly McKinlay, Eleanor Henderson, Nick Finegan, Tom Wragg-Smith, Callum Brodie,
