Notes: | adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland | |||||
| Wonderland as you've never seen it before! While retaining the magic of Lewis Carroll's classic tale, this adaptation breathes fresh life into the much-loved story about rabbit holes, pocket watches and talking caterpillars. The new adaptation follows Alice as she escapes her bedroom to find adventure in a topsy-turvy world. The White Rabbit is still late for the Duchess. The Cheshire Cat still won't stop grinning. And the Hatter is, well, still mad. But in the middle of it all is a very modern Alice, a young girl with a vivid imagination and a family life that's far from perfect. | |||||

| It's like they want to tap into your soul - watch your every move, monitor who you are, file a report on you and sell you off.' There is a company that knows who you are. They trace every detail of your lifestyle, habits and spending. They know your darkest fears and secret hopes. They can change you. Claire has created a new identity for herself and promises to do the same for others in crisis. She alone has unrestricted access to the company records. Catch is a new collaborative play by five leading writers, which asks timely questions about who we want to become - and at what cost. | |||||

Nobody can ignore the fact that Myra is dying but in the meantime life goes on. There are boilers to be fixed, cats to be fed and the perfect funeral to be planned. As a mother researches burial spots and bio-degradable coffins, her family are finally forced to communicate with her, and each other, as they face up to an unpredictable future. | |||||

But in an age where things that don't work and can't be mended are thrown away, what do we do with something as human and messy as love? | |||||
