Alice in Wonderland - New Vic Theatre 2022

Revisit the greatest children’s story of all time this Christmas, and join us as we take a trip to Wonderland!

Journey with Alice as she follows the White Rabbit into a curiously enchanting new world, filled with even curioser characters.

By Lewis Carroll

Revisit the greatest children’s story of all time this Christmas, and join us as we take a trip to Wonderland!

Journey with Alice as she follows the White Rabbit into a curiously enchanting new world, filled with even curioser characters.

As she searches for a way home, Alice encounters strange and whimsical people: a disappearing cat with a grin wider than she’s ever seen, a Mad Hatter whose tea party never quite serves tea, and a bad tempered Queen who is looking for her jam tarts…

An adventure like no other, Alice In Wonderland is filled with fun, laughter and lots of magical moments. Brought to life in the New Vic’s sensational trademark style, this is a story that will give the young – and young at heart – a joyful festive treat this year!

It was great to photograph this production again (I photographed it first in 2011)

Theatre, Performance, Dance and Music Photography

Thanks for having a look at my Theatre, Performance, Dance and Music Photography website.

I’ve been photographing live performances for 9 years now and before that I worked in professional theatre for 20 years - first as an actor and then as a Company Stage Manager.

Live Theatre & Performance Photography

I like to think that experiences gives me a unique and relevant insight into photographing theatre. I understand the pressures that surround live performances and never want to be the one adding to that. Through years of experience I also understand what photographs companies need to sell a performance as well as what photographs will be useful for further marketing in the future.
