Step through the mirror and into a world of wonder this summer as Quantum Theatre brings Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass (and What Alice Found There) to life in a brand-new adaptation, performed under the open sky in the magical Gun Garden of Lewes Castle.

Bring a blanket or chair, pack your picnic basket, and prepare to be transported as Alice ventures into a fantastical realm where nothing is quite as it seems…

This lively and enchanting retelling by Michael Whitmore, packed with live music and Carroll’s unforgettable characters — from Tweedledum and Tweedledee to the Red Queen, Humpty Dumpty, and the White Knight — is a faithful, fun-filled journey through one of the most imaginative worlds in English literature.

With its quirky charm, delightful wordplay, and visual surprises, Through the Looking Glass is a joyful theatrical treat for adventurers of all ages.
