Lichfield Garrick is preparing for “the most amazing festive show” it has ever staged—Alice in Wonderland.

Steve Huison who played Mr Byron in CBBC’s The 4 o’clock Club as well as Eddie Windass in Coronation Street and Lomper in the film The Full Monty is the White Rabbit.

Adrian Jackson, the Garrick’s artistic and executive director, said, “Alice in Wonderland will be the most amazing festive show the Lichfield Garrick has ever staged, with the whole theatre being transformed into a Christmas wonderland.

“From the moment members of the audience step over the threshold into the theatre, they will be entertained by circus performers, and there will be opportunities for children to try out circus skills.

“I’m delighted Steve Huison is playing the White Rabbit. You may even bump into the White Rabbit before the show as he runs around telling everyone not to be late.”

The show has been designed by the creative team behind last year’s record-breaking production of A Christmas Carol.

Garrick favourite Ian Adams will take to the stage as the Mad Hatter and Laura Baldwin will play Alice.

Alice in Wonderland is at Lichfield Garrick from Thursday (6 December) until Sunday, 6 January.
