Work Overview
Dining with Alice was a
magical, if topsy-turvy, dinner party in the exquisite gardens of
a 15th century moated manor house in rural Norfolk.
The audience of 256 unsuspecting diners were invited to follow in
Alice's footsteps and find themselves in Wonderland in the
company of the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and even Alice
herself in all her various sizes.
All was not what it seemed as a strange evening of
tongue-twisters and riddles unfolded, culminating in a musical
entertainment under the stars.
Curiouser and curiouser, don't you think?
