Through the Looking Glass
Book & Lyrics by Chris Blackwood
Music by Piers Chater Robinson
Where your dreams are shattered
As the chessboard crumbles, the Red Queen refuses to give up the crown and, when the White pieces are all captured, a small band of revolutionaries, led by the White King, struggle to maintain the balance.
When Alice notices something strange about the looking glass in the parlour, little does she know that shes is about to become a pawn
in the Looking Glass War. In a world of grinning identical twins, cracked nursery rhyme charactes, gallantry and madness, Alice is about to see things are seldom what they seem.
As the net draws closer on Alice and she fights to return home, there is one thing she must do before all is the right way round. The balance must be restored. With the help of the decrepid and addled White Knight, Alice must become Queen before a terrible beast is let loose upon the land and the world belongs to the Red Queen forever.
Full of mystery and wonder, Alice's adventures through the looking glass will take you on a magical journey you will never forget. Based on Lewls Carroll's evergreen classic, Through the Looking Glass, this musical adaptation, humorous and lively, and by turns, dark and broody, brings a new slant to Alice's adventures.
In a world where the rules are back to front and upside down, come with us Through the Looking Glass and journey across the chessboard where illusion is the only thing that is guaranteed.
