Alice Lost in Wonderland marks the ninth production in partnership with Beth Marshall Presents and this adaptation's world premiere at the Garden Theatre. In a world of madness nothing is as it seems and we can't go back to yesterday because we were different people then.
"But I don't want to go among mad people," said Alice.
"Oh you can't help that," said the cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" asked Alice.
"You must be," said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come."
