Theatre Lab Company’s innovative re-telling of Lewis Carroll’s timeless story brings wonderland extravagance to the Asylum Chapel

Theatre Lab Company’s new production is an innovative re-telling of the beloved classic story,
Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, accompanied by an original live musical score.
A story blending the old and the new, classic and contemporary, reality and imagination, all coming together in the quest to understand our identity. Set in contemporary London, Mr. Rose, a property investor, believes he has struck gold when he buys a new building, the Asylum, a former Victorian asylum. As he prepares to demolish the building, he decides to pay a visit to the site, only to find that it is not empty as expected. Here, he meets Alice, the last patient of the Asylum before it was forced to shut down in 1873. Curious and impatient, Mr. Rose does all he can to get Alice out of the Asylum and proceed with his dream of gentrification. Alice, however, has other ideas. It’s time for tea, you see.
The production promises to be a unique experience staged at the enchanting Victorian Asylum Chapel in South London that was once a place of sanctuary for those in need. The social function of this haunting space echoes the message of this play as an unsuspecting Mr Rose encounters Alice and some of her demons.
