Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Enjoy an unforgettable open-air theatre experience on the Croquet Lawn as This Is My Theatre bring Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to Doddington Hall.


Step through the looking glass and into a world where nothing is quite as it seems… 

Join Alice as she tumbles down the rabbit hole and encounters a whirlwind of curious characters—the grinning Cheshire Cat, the frantic White Rabbit, the eccentric Mad Hatter, and the fearsome Queen of Hearts. This timeless tale of imagination, riddles, and wonder comes to life on stage in a dazzling production full of humor, music, and a touch of madness.

“Weird, wacky and wonderful… A great introduction to the Summer season!”

– Crawley Observer

Perfect for dreamers of all ages, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland invites you to lose yourself in the magic of one of literature’s most beloved journeys!

Bring a chair and a picnic, and prepare to be entertained and transported. Book early to avoid missing out!

Written by Lewis Carroll
Directed & Adapted by Sarah Slator  

Assistant Direction by Chloe Bond
Music by Simon Stallard
