I enjoyed the wonderfully choregraphed slow motioned moment when drinking tea which stood out in this scene.Īlice also meets and dances with a Wolf Hatter, the nicest wolf you could ever meet and Alice inadvertently finds herself mixed up with the politics of the many Queens of Otherland, including The Red Queen, The White Queen, The Gypsy Queen and a Queen Bee. Alice also joins Boris (The Bear) and Dominic Raab(it) at a “tea party” for Brexitfast where there was a debate to what to eat, but Sausages were OFF the menu because the Three Pigs were close friends. To name a few adventures, Alice finds herself on the run from angry “Bake-Off” contestants after refusing to accept their bribes and judge their cakes. Originally written by Artistic Director Sue Wallin, Alice in Otherland tells the story of Alice Carroll who is the Great Grand-daughter of Alice in a brilliant slice of a parallel universe (a concept to which I love), or was it all a dream? Or was it her Great Grandmother’s dream?Īlice follows a White Rabbit down a Rabbit Hole and this begins her many adventures, but these adventures are of a different kind meeting some familiar characters but also some very different. This performance of Alice in Otherland was Side by Side’s triumphant return to Stourbridge Town Hall bringing a unique and wonderful take of Alice in Wonderland to the stage.


After 25 strong years, Side by Side continue to be an absolutely amazing force in Stourbridge, West Midlands.
