overview
"Of course that's how it begins: a harmless fairy tale to pass the hours"
When Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewellyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932, the original Alice in Wonderland came face to face with the original Peter Pan. In John Logan's remarkable new play, enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bear the lives of these two extraordinary characters.
Judi Dench plays Alice and Ben Wishaw plays Peter in Logan's first new play since Red, which went on to win six Tony Awards in 2010.
