First Look: Alice In Wonderland at Brixton House

Reading Time: 5 mins read

Brixton House (formerly Ovalhouse theatre) and multi-award winning, genre-bending theatre company Poltergeist have released production images for the premiere of a brand new production of Lewis Carroll’s all-time classic, Alice In Wonderland.

Set in Brixton Underground Station, rooted in the heart of the local community, this contemporary Christmas adventure is a thrilling remix that weaves storytelling, rap music and comic book visuals with the recognisable sights and sounds of Brixton. Audiences will be immersed in a theatre space which has been transformed into a strangely familiar Victoria line tube train.

Poltergeist’s Jack Bradfield, whose Ghost Walk, (co-produced with New Diorama), was a sell-out hit last Christmas, directs this fantastical tale devised from a series of workshops with actors, creatives and the team at Brixton House. This collaborative approach has resulted in a bold new show which didn’t need to venture far to find inspiration. This Alice encounters a motley crew of characters as she tries to find her way off the Victoria line back home to Brixton.

       

Nkhanise Phiri (NATIONAL YOUTH THEATRE REP 20/21) makes her stage debut in the lead role as Alice; Toyin Ayedun-Alase, fresh from Dipo Baruwa-Etti’s The Clinic (ALMEIDA) and Comedy of Errors (RSC), plays the ‘Queen of the Line’ and multi-rolling parts alongside Khai Shaw (FRANTIC ASSEMBLY, SHAFTESBURY THEATRE, ORANGE TREE THEATRE, LYCEUM). Poltergeist company members, clown and cabaret artist Rosa Garland and writer, performer and poet Will Spence who both previously performed in Ghost Walk, Art Heist, and Lights Over Tesco Car Park also play a host of bizarre creatures and characters on the underground.
