✨ Wonderland is coming to life — and it’s homegrown!

In just six weeks, we open Alice’s Adventures, a brand‑new theatre production inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classics but brought to the stage with an original script, original music, and a fully local creative team.

Written and composed right here in our community — and performed by an incredible local cast — this is Wonderland as you’ve never seen it before: bold, imaginative, and bursting with heart.

Ricky and Kathryn had an amazing four days in London on a city break and crammed in so much including, of course, some shows.

All very different but all fantastic with some great set and tech moments as well as brilliant performances.

They also had some time to talk through some ideas for SITW moving forwards…watch this space!
