When Jess Peet steps out onto the Lyceum stage as the title character of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, which runs at Edinburgh’s Royal Lyceum Theatre until 31 December, she takes on the mantle of one of the most iconic figures of Oxford literature.
ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND – Edinburgh
Wonderful: While not specifically Christmassy, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland at Edinburgh’s Lyceum proves an ideal fit for the festive season. Hugely colourful, funny, and fascinating, it is thoroughly involving and a little disorienting.
