LEWIS CARROLL THE MUSICAL

About the show

Step through the looking-glass and into the extraordinary world of Lewis Carroll…or is it, Charles Dodgson? In this brand-new musical, from the creatives behind Wallis, the beloved nonsense of the Alice books collides with the curious life of the man who created them. Charles Dodgson is the shy Oxford mathematician behind Lewis Carroll and whose imagination gave us Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. For generations, people have debated the story behind the real Alice and the mathematician who immortalised her. Drawing on Carroll’s poems, diaries, letters, and fantastical tales we tumble down a rabbit hole of imagination and mystery. Along the way, familiar characters appear, and the boundary between fantasy and reality begins to blur Blending songs, humour, and the deliciously odd logic of Carroll’s world, the show follows the thread from the beloved stories back to the life that inspired them. So, polish your dancing shoes, mind the Jabberwocky… and Will you Join the Dance?
