Synopsis
Arden Theatre Company welcomes Chicago's famed Lookingglass Theatre Company for the Philadelphia premiere of Lookingglass Alice, adapted and directed by David Catlin. Don't miss this fantastical, acrobatic adaptation of two of Lewis Carroll's most beloved works, Through the Looking Glass and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This play was written for adults but is appropriate for the older (10 and up), more theatre-savvy child as well.
Lookingglass Alice whisks audiences away to a Wonderland ruled by a larger than life Red Queen where Alice truly defies gravity and Humpty Dumpty actually falls from his perilous ledge. Audiences will be mesmerized by Lookingglass' signature style of visual storytelling filled with daring theatricality and astonishing acrobatics. Combining witty word play, madcap mischief and fantastical flights of aerial fancy, Lewis Carroll's spectacularly surreal classics are brought vividly to life in this wildly imaginative production reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil.
Most enjoyed by children ages 10 and up.
