Alice In Wonderland
Synopsis:
This newly imagined version of Alice's story will take you down a long dark rabbit hole from which you will emerge into our magical rose-filled gardens; the setting for her imaginary childhood world. As you follow Alice's journey through Wonderland you may be invited to run a caucus race, play croquet with the Queen, have tea with the Hatter or dance a Lobster Quadrille. This summer, the acclaimed Iris theatre returns to St. Paul's, Covent Garden with Alice in Wonderland . Set in the intimate gardens of this historic 17th century English church, this open-air production will take you deep into the heart of Lewis Carroll's imagination.

Alice Through the Looking Glass
Synopsis:
A promenade performance using the whole ofSt Paul's Church in Covent Garden, Iris Theatre's Alice Through the Looking Glass is, in the play's own words, "daft as daisies" but a really delightful evening of theatre. We are invited into the ailing Mrs Grey's bedchamber, in the church itself, where we fill the pews to Anne-Marie Piazza's hauntingly beautiful singing. From there we head through the looking glass into the church gardens - a veritable wonderland of lights, roses, upside down umbrellas, chess pieces and a red and white forest of poles.
Notes:
Lewis Carroll, in a new adaptation by Daniel Winder with music by Candida Caldicot

Pinocchio : A Family Fable
Synopsis:
In the summer of 2015 you are invited to join a head-strong little puppet as he runs away for fun and adventure. Keen to prove he is as quick and clever as any real little boy, he leaves his Pappa far behind. On his fantastical journey Pinocchio will meet a speaking cat, a dancing fox, a sneaky snake and a child who turns into a donkey; but as he's swallowed up whole by a ship-guzzling dogfish it looks like Pinocchio will never become a real little boy. .
