Through the Looking Glass

Sonic Boom Theatre present their take on Lewis Caroll's classic

Everyone knows the story of Alice, the little girl who chased a white rabbit down a rabbit hole to a magical land where nothing was what it seemed. Everyone knows about how she encountered all sorts of bizarre creatures and people, all eccentric, all very mad. Everyone knows she survived the court of the Queen of Hearts and got home safe.

But do you know what happened next? Read more …

Through The Looking Glass tells the story of Alice’s return to the magical world of Wonderland, where characters old and new await her return. But this time, she didn’t find herself there by mistake. This time, she stepped through her looking glass deliberately. And, now that she’s braved it once before, her concern is no longer a struggle to get home but the quest to become Queen.

But remember: all is not what it seems inside a looking glass. One can scarcely tell if they are coming or going and time passes only when it feels like it. Sometimes it seems like one has to run as fast as one can only to stay where one began….

Creating the wonder of Wonderland through magical costumes and set, Sonic Boom present their adaptation of the lesser-known sequel to Lewis Caroll’s much-loved tale Alice In Wonderland, which features a stronger and more interesting Alice than its predecessor.

An adventure for both adults and children, follow Alice into a chessboard world filled with lions and unicorns, talking flowers and depressed insects, Humpty Dumpty and the Tweedle twins, a flamboyant Hatter, knights, pawns, kings and, most importantly, queens.
