The International School of Cape Town presents Alice.

This isn’t your childhood bedtime story. Laura Wade’s adaptation of Alice takes the psychedelic DNA of Lewis Carroll and drags it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Forget the pinafores and the tea parties; this is a high-octane exploration of grief, chaos, and the bizarre reality of growing up in a world that stopped making sense a long time ago. When the world aboveground shatters, Alice goes under. But this isn’t a fairy tale—it’s a survival guide. After a sudden bereavement, she escapes through the rabbit hole, only to find a Wonderland that feels more like a fever dream curated by a glitching AI. It’s sharp, it’s cynical, and it’s unapologetically edgy. This is Carroll’s classic through a cracked lens—fast-paced, foul-mouthed, and fiercely modern. Laura Wade’s Alice is a riotous, heart-wrenching journey through a Wonderland that looks suspiciously like our own fever dreams. Expect the unexpected, embrace the absurdity, and don’t forget to mind your head.
