What you might think of as foolish behaviour in real life - following the instructions on a cake that says "Eat me"! -- leads to a series of bizarre and unforgettable adventures in this much-loved adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic story. All the strange and wonderful characters from the book (the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat) can be found alongside the adventurous Alice herself, as she tries to make sense of the crazy world in which she finds herself.
