This show, (based on Lewis Carrolls Alices Adventures in Wonderland) intends to turn the event area into a magical Wonderland by presenting scenes adapted from the book. Most of the scenes are interactive walkabout performance that passers-by can get involved in, giving them the experience of being on their own adventure in Wonderland. There is also a high level of physical skill, strong costume and slapstick humour to keep people entertained. Come and meet some of the characters, in a scene by scene breakdown of the show!

Alice Chasing the Rabbit
Both on stilts, roller skates or on foot – a walkabout sketch that often involves a crowd of children being enlisted by Alice to help find the White Rabbit – a big game of hide and seek. 20mins runabout.

The Tea Party

This scene is part walkabout and part static show. The Tea-Party crew (Mad hatter, March Hare, Dormouse and walking Table) start several tea parties each one interrupted by the Table who gets bored and runs off. Eventually they meet Alice and a scene ensues. The static scene is full of acrobatics and acrobalance routines and can be performed to its own musical soundtrack. 30mins inc 5mins static.

The Caterpillar

The Caterpillar (on a mushroom on stilts) installs himself in some suitable location and waxes lyrical to all and sundry (including Alice). 20 mins static.

The Cheshire Cat

Where possible, we rig a trapeze (onto a tree or beam) or otherwise find a suitable elevated spot for the Cheshire Cat to sit. In a similar fashion to the Caterpillar scene (and usually at the same time) passers-by and Alice are given unhelpful directions by the Cat. If rigging is possible the Cat also performs a routine. 20mins static.

The Pack of Cards

Six cards perform slapstick acrobalance and marching routines. The language of card games is used (cut/snap/shuffle/split etc). 30 mins walkabout.

Croquet and the Queens Big Number

This is a static finale scene accompanied by a soundtrack requiring a space and a PA. The scene starts with two cards painting roses -–this is both slapstick and acrobatic. Alice arrives as does the Knave of Hearts and they share a special moment with a jam tart that is interrupted by the White Rabbit announcing the arrival of the Queen of Hearts (huge and on stilts). Alice is roped into playing (and losing) a croquet match which the Queen celebrates with a big, camp dance number. 15-20 mins staged.

This show works equally well at a party, on the street or at a festival. We are so familiar with the material that we have become extremely flexible with the structure of the scenes and can adapt to brief. Examples of previous adaptions include putting various characters on aerial equipment, working around a maze and making a whole hour long staged version
