About the show:
Quantum Theatre returns with their signature blend of comedy, music, and magic in a fresh adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s beloved sequel, Through the Looking Glass (and What Alice Found There). Packed with live music and a full cast of Carroll’s fantastical characters, this fun and fast-paced show captures the quirky British humour of the original – a delightful treat for the whole family.
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
