Theatre Preview - ALICE IN WONDERLAND - BARNARD CASTLE





Roll up, roll up Were all mad here!


The Castle Players summer production of Alice in Wonderland in the grounds of the Bowes Museum, promises to be an extravaganza of colourful costumes, music and crazy antics.

The huge cast of 52 ranges from the ages of 8 to 80 and includes some familiar faces and some new, all working hard to entertain us, supported by an army of set builders, prop makers, costume designers and make-up artists.

One of the youngest, 8-year-old Libby Forsyth, who is playing a canary in the production, will be joined by great-uncle and oldest member Nick Perkins. He will be playing the frustrated executioner to the Queen of Hearts and jokingly says Im longing to chop someones head off but dont think Im going to get the opportunity!
                                                                                                                        
Tickets are now on sale for the show which will feature characters from both Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, such as the bumbling mad Hatter, the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, the Jabberwock with the jaws that bite and claws that catch, and the melancholy Mock Turtle who sings about beau-ootiful soo-oop and dancing lobsters!

Director Dawn Trevor says Im hoping that when people come to see the show, whatever else is going on in their life, they forget about it for a few hours, and enjoy 52 people making fools of themselves!

The show will run from July 10th - 13th and will include a Saturday matinee. Tickets can be purchased online at www.castleplayers.co.uk, by telephone 01833-631107, or in person at The Witham, Barnard Castle.
