Join Alice as she follows the White Rabbit down the rabbit-hole, meets a Mouse, Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat, Cook, Duchess, March Hare, Mad Hatter, Dormouse, Gryphon, Mock Turtle, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the King, Queen and Knave of Hearts, and joins in a crazy picnic, dances a Lobster Quadrille and becomes a witness in the trial of the Knave who, allegedly, stole the tarts!

The young actors are also performing a devised companion piece – Malice in Underground – which is an abstract play exploring the theme of 'better the devil you know …'

Both plays are directed by Anne Page, who recently directed the sell-out run of The 39 Steps at the Miller Centre Theatre in Caterham. The show is Croft's 20th annual performance to raise funds (at least £1,500) to continue to sponsor Smokey Joe, a pony at the Diamond Centre for Disabled Riders.
