Scene 1 - At the Park

Alice and her sister are sitting in the park on a hot, sunny day. Alice’s
sister lies down next to her to nap.
A white rabbit wearing a waistcoat with a pocket watch inside hurriedly
enters the stage, looking flustered. There is a dark hole on the far side of
the stage.
Narrator 1: One afternoon, Alice was relaxing and minding her own
business in the park with her sister, when out of nowhere
a rabbit wearing a waistcoat raced past her. She couldn’t
believe her eyes! He stopped for a second, pulled out his
pocket watch and exclaimed-
Rabbit: (races past Alice, stops, pulls out pocket watch and looks
at it in shock) Oh dear! I’m late!
Narrator 2: And off he ran out of sight. (Rabbit then exits the stage)
Narrator 3: Alice’s curiosity got the better of her and she quickly
followed Mr Rabbit to where she had seen him last. She
stopped and looked around. All she could see was an
ordinary old rabbit hole.

Alice stands up and cautiously follows the rabbit. She looks

down into a dark hole on the far side of the stage.
Narrator 4: She looked down that ordinary old rabbit hole and Alice
thought to herself, maybe I could fit down there and then I
really could see what that rabbit was up to.
Narrator 2: So off she went. (Alice jumps and exits stage)
Narrator 1: The start of a new adventure.
Scene 2 - Down the Rabbit Hole

Alice is on her own on stage. It is dark. There are several doors of
different shapes and sizes at the back of the stage and a light switch. A
table on one side has a key on top.
Alice walks around blinking and trying to see.
Alice: Oh gosh, it is very dark down here. I wonder why rabbits

don’t have lights to show the way when climbing in and
out of holes?
Narrator 3: Just as she was thinking of a way to install lights in

the rabbit hole, she reached the bottom and found the
light switch.
Alice: Here it is! (pushes the light switch) It is so much easier to

see where we’re going with the lights on! Now where did
that rabbit get to?
Narrator 4: The rabbit had scampered off out in front, but Alice was
determined to stay on its fluffy tail to find out exactly
what rabbits in waistcoats got up to. As she was walking
along the tunnel, she came across a hallway full of doors of
all shapes and sizes.
Alice walks over to the doors.

Alice: Hmm, what a curious wall to find. I wonder where all of

these doors lead? Perhaps each door leads to a different
place? How will I work out which door Mr Rabbit went
through? (looking around her for clues)
Narrator 1: Alice sees a key on the table nearby.
Alice: (walking over to the table) This looks like it could be useful
to help me get inside one of these doors, but which one
should I try first? I know, I’ll start with the smallest and
work my way upwards to the largest.
Alice takes the key and walks over to a tiny door that
is up to her knee in height. She tries the key in the lock
hopefully.
Narrator 2: Amazingly, the key opened the smallest door with the
first turn. Alice peered through the tiny door. (Alice
absentmindedly places the key back on the table and peers
through the open door.)
Alice: (excitedly) There he is! Hey, Mr Rabbit, wait for me!
Narrator 3: But Mr Rabbit didn’t hear Alice and he was running late so
he just kept on running.
Alice: (touching her chin and thinking out loud) How on earth
am I going to fit through this teeny tiny doorway? Perhaps
if I start with my toes. Oh no, there is no chance I will ever
fit through this doorway! What am I going to do? I can’t
go back now, I need to find out where that rabbit is off to!
The door shuts.

A bottle labelled ‘Drink Me!’ is put on top of the table next
to the key while Alice’s back is turned.

Narrator 4: Alice looked around the room for something to help her and
noticed a bottle with the words, ‘Drink Me!’ on it.
Alice: (peering at the bottle) Drink Me? What a strange thing to

have sitting on the table. But I am feeling a little thirsty
and it doesn’t look too dangerous… (she drinks the contents
of the bottle in one go)
Narrator 1: Alice downed the drink and

something strange began to happen.
A strange and magical sound effect is

played, such as some notes on a xylophone.
Alice: Ahhhh! What’s happening to me? (looking at her hands

and feet in amazement)
Narrator 4: Alice was beginning to shrink.
The tiny door is swapped for a larger one that

looks the same.
Alice: My hands! My feet! Umph! What has happened to

me?! Hang on a minute, I’m exactly the right size to fit
through this door now. That’s amazing. But what did I do
with the key?
Narrator 2: Alice looked way up above her to the table.
Alice: Oh no! (exclaiming as she stares up high) The key for the
door is still up on the table. What on earth am I going
to do now?
As Alice cries with her head in her hands, a wrapped up

parcel with a large label that says ‘Eat me!’ is placed on
the stage nearby.
Narrator 3: She noticed something small sitting next to her.

Alice: What’s this? ‘Eat me!’ What a strange thing to have

written on a piece of cake.
Narrator 1: She began to nibble on the cake.
Alice tentatively nibbles the cake.
Narrator 3: (with attitude) You think she would have learnt her lesson
from the last time she drank something that wasn’t hers!
Narrator 2: But, she didn’t. And as she nibbled she began to grow.
Again, a strange and magical sound effect is played.
Alice: Ahh! What’s happening now? (looking at her hands and

feet in amazement)
Narrator 4: She grew and she grew, until she had grown way past the
height of the table.
Narrator 1: She could reach the key but…
The larger door is swapped back for the tiny door.
Alice: (looking at the tiny door) Now I’m much too tall to fit
through the door again. This day is turning out to be a
terrible day! (crying with her head in her hands again)
Narrator 4: She began to cry.
Narrator 2: And cry.
Narrator 3: And cry some more, until her tears

formed a rushing river of tears and
Alice began to shrink and get swept
away in the river of tears.

Scene 3 - The Pool of Tears

Alice sits in the middle of the stage and looks around her as blue paper or
material is waved gently up and down to resemble water. There is a large
rock to one side. The Mouse enters the stage, pretending to paddle while
the Cat waits behind, off stage.
Alice: Where am I going to go now? I want to go home!
Mouse: (swimming over to Alice) Home? Where is your home?
Alice: Ahh! (screaming) A talking mouse. Where did you

come from?
Mouse: I come from here and I can take you there.
The Cat skulks onto the stage, staring at the Mouse.
Cat: Ready or not, here I come!
Mouse: Quick, follow me. Cat is on its way to find me in

hide and seek.
The Mouse and Alice pretend to swim over and hide

together behind a rock as the Cat swims around the stage
in a loop once or twice, looking for them.
Cat: Mousey, where are you?
Alice: (whispering to the Mouse) You are playing hide and seek
with a cat?
Mouse: Of course! Who else should I play with? The danger makes
it all the more fun!
Cat: (spotting the Mouse and beginning to swim closer) I see

you mousey. You’re beginning to look like lunch.

Mouse: Alice, quick, get to shore. Once we’re there, the others will
look after us.
Alice and the Mouse pretend to swim across the pool and
get to the edge.
Narrator 1: And so, Alice and Mouse stumbled to shore with Cat not too
far behind them.
Cat: Umph! (crossly and still in the pool) You get away today
Mousey, tomorrow we shall try again!
Alice: (looking back at the cat sweetly) Oh Cat, you are a pretty
cat, you look so much like my own cat Dinah. She is a
pretty little thing who loves cuddles so very much. Do you
like cuddles?
Cat: Cuddles? Me? Not at all. I am a Cheshire cat. Cuddles are

not for me!
Mouse: Hahaha! (teasing) Cat loves to be cuddled. Here Catty,

catty, catty, come for a cuddle.
Cat: Ahhh! (angrily)
The Cat and Mouse chase each other across the stage and
then exit in a noisy roar and a scream.
Narrator 3: Without any warning, Cat exploded and scared all of the
animals away. Alice was once again left on her own.
Alice: Oh dear. Whatever shall I do now? (slumping down to the

ground and throwing her hands in the air hopelessly)
Rabbit enters the stage and hops over to Alice.
Rabbit: Hello there. Where did you come from?

Alice: Where did I come from? Where did you come from? I have
been looking for you.
Rabbit: Looking for me? Why, of course you have been. I did
hear there was a new servant around these parts. That
must be you!
Alice: Me? (shocked) A servant?
Rabbit: Of course! I was in such a hurry to get here that I left

everything behind. You must go and fetch everything for
me. Quickly, quickly, there is no time to waste!
Rabbit gets out the pocket watch, looks at it in shock and

rushes off the stage.
Narrator 4: Rabbit was once again off on his never-ending journey.
Alice: What a rude rabbit! (indignantly) I will not be his servant.

Perhaps a short walk will help me work out where I am
and what I am going to do now.
Alice gets up, dusts herself off and exits the stage
confidently.
Scene 4 - Advice from a Caterpillar

Alice is walking through the countryside. She passes flowers and grass.
On one side of the stage is a large pink and blue spotted mushroom with
a caterpillar sitting on top of it.
Alice: And off Alice set down the nearest path to find what she
didn’t know she was looking for.
Caterpillar: Where are you off to, girl? (calling over to Alice)
Alice: Oh! (in a surprised voice) A talking caterpillar! What a

funny place this is.

Caterpillar: I am not a funny place! (in a confused voice) I can guide

you to where you need to go.
Narrator 1: Alice was getting more and more confused and upset about
where she was and how she was ever going to get home.
Alice: (exasperated, with hands on hips) I don’t know where I

am! I was following the White Rabbit and then he led me
here, but then he was so rude to me, and now I am here
with you and I really don’t know what I am going to
find next.
Narrator 3: The Caterpillar smiled. He knew now he could have some

fun with this girl.
Caterpillar: (smiling and pointing to the mushroom below) This

mushroom, the one right here, doesn’t it look delicious?
Alice: Well, I’m not so sure about mushrooms…
Caterpillar: Yes, but this is not any normal type of mushroom. Try it.
Go on. I’m sure you’ll find it is actually delicious.
Narrator 4: Alice wasn’t one to normally trust strange caterpillars, but

today was proving to be a day of firsts for her.
Alice: This pink mushroom here? (pointing) It is very pretty. I

guess one little nibble really couldn’t hurt me.
Alice takes a piece of pink mushroom from near the Caterpillar, crouches
down and pretends to chew it thoughtfully. As she chews, she stands up
taller and taller onto tiptoes, looking around in a confused
way. A strange and magical sound effect is played.

Narrator 2: And with that, Alice’s neck began to stretch higher and
higher, and before she knew what had happened, she could
see above the trees.
Caterpillar: I told you so. It’s delicious! There are some strange side
effects though. (laughing) You never asked about the
side effects.
Narrator 3: Caterpillar laughed and laughed.
Narrator 1: Alice began to cry again
Alice: (sobbing) Please help me. I never wanted to be a giraffe.

It’s scary up here. The birds are looking at me scarily.
Please Caterpillar!
Narrator 4: Caterpillar looked up and felt sorry for Alice.
Caterpillar: Fine. Take a nibble of the blue section. It won’t taste as

nice, but it will change your current view.
Alice bends down and takes a blue part from the

mushroom. She breaks off some to eat and puts the rest
into her pocket. She grimaces because it tastes disgusting.
Narrator 2: Alice took a large bite of the blue section of the mushroom.
Narrator 1: Caterpillar was right, the taste was terrible!
Narrator 3: But Alice began to shrink.
Alice waves her hands around as she pretends to get

shorter. She looks at her hands and feet in amazement.
Again, a strange and magical sound effect is played.
Caterpillar exits the stage and the Cat appears on the
other side.
Narrator 4: And before she knew what had happened, she was back to
normal height and Caterpillar was nowhere to be seen.

Narrator 1: Alice looked around in surprise.
Alice: Caterpillar? (peering to where

the Caterpillar has left the stage)
Cheshire Cat: (speaking from the other side of the

stage) No caterpillars here, just me!
Alice: Who are you? (jumping around in surprise)
Narrator 2: Cheshire Cat was grinning.
Narrator 3: He was well known for his big grin.
Cheshire Cat: I’m Cat, The Cheshire Cat, haven’t you heard of me?
(grinning proudly)
Alice: Heard of you? No, never. Should I have?
Cheshire Cat: Well, I am quite famous.
Alice: A famous cat? You’re crazy!
Cheshire Cat: Oh Alice, if that really is your name, you’re in wonderland

now. We’re all mad here!
Alice: Wonderland? What a strange name for a place.
Cheshire Cat: The place you need to go is left, then straight, then right,
round the corner, past the blue tree and back around to
the top of the straight. Once you are there, you will find
the March Hare. He will explain more. (exits the stage)
Narrator 4: And The Cheshire Cat faded away from view.

Alice: I guess there is nowhere else to go. Let me see if I remember

correctly… he said I have to go left, then straight, then
right, round the corner, past the blue tree and back around
to the top of the straight. I hope the March Hare has some
more answers about where I am.
Narrator 1: Off she went,
Narrator 2: Hoping she remembered each of the instructions,
Narrator 3: Because as strange as Wonderland was,
Narrator 4: Alice didn’t fancy being lost in Wonderland.
Scene 5 - At the Tea Party

The March Hare, Mad Hatter and the Dormouse are all sitting around a
table enjoying afternoon tea.
Alice enters the stage.
March Hare: (warmly) Ahh, excellent! A guest!

Alice: Who are you?
Mad Hatter: Who are WE?
March Hare: Who are YOU?
Alice: I’m Alice. The Cheshire Cat sent me to you.
Mad Hatter: Sent you to US!
March Hare: Whyever would the Cheshire Cat have sent you here?
Dormouse: For the tea party of course!
March Hare: She has not been invited to the tea party.

Mad Hatter: Quite right. She must not come to the tea party unless she
has been invited to the tea party.
March Hare: An excellent show of manners is to not go to places that

you haven’t been invited to.
Mad Hatter: Did your parents not teach you

anything young lady?
Dormouse: It would appear she is unaware of

the manners needed to attend a tea party.
Alice: My parents DID teach me manners. It’s you that are the
rude ones! (indignantly and pointing at the animals)
Mad Hatter: (waving a hand away) Off you go then young lady.
Time here is standing still and we have tea parties to
enjoy for days.
March Hare: Tea parties for years.
Dormouse: What else could you want for, but a tea party for years!
Narrator 4: And with that, Alice decided to keep searching for a way to
get back home.
Mad Hatter: Farewell young lady. (waving at her) We shall see

you again!
March Hare: At another tea party.
Mad Hatter: At another time!
Alice looks very confused and walks off stage as the

animals continue eating and drinking.

Scene 6 - The Queen’s Croquet Ground

Alice is on one side of the stage with a tiny door in front of her.
Narrator 3: Alice made her way back to the forest looking for a sign of
where she should go next.
Alice: What’s this? (pointing at the door)
Narrator 2: Alice had found another tiny door.
Narrator 4: She was no longer surprised to find tiny doors and

talking animals.
Alice: Well, this does look like a place The White Rabbit would
go. If only I had kept some of that mushroom from the
caterpillar.
Narrator 1: Alice searched her pockets for a mushroom crumb to

help her get
through the door.
Alice: (rummaging in her pockets) Ah ha! (eating)
Narrator 3: And she downed the last crumb of mushroom.
Narrator 1: She shrank down to sneak through the door and in front of
her was an amazing sight she couldn’t have dreamed of in
her wildest dreams.
The door is swapped to a normal-sized one which Alice

opens and walks through. On the other side is the garden
where the Queen and the Cat are waiting. There are rose
bushes with red and white flowers and lots of life-sized
playing cards, many of which are bent over. The Queen is
sitting on a throne nearby.

Alice: A game full of cards. What a curious place this is!
Narrator 2: Alice was yet to meet the Queen of Hearts.
Queen: WHO ARE YOU!? (shouting angrily and peering at Alice)
Narrator 4: There she is!
Queen: Who let you in? This is a private game of croquet with an
invitation list I carefully wrote myself. I am SURE your
name was NOT on MY LIST!
Alice: Uh (hesitating)...A-A-Alice, my name is Alice.
Queen: I’ve never heard of such a name! Off with her head!!
Narrator 3: Alice began to shake. Her day was beginning to go

from bad to worse.
Cheshire Cat: (speaking to the Queen)

I see you have met Alice
Your Majesty.
Queen: (looking at the Cat) You know this intruder?
Cheshire Cat: Of course! She is a relative of a relative of a

relative of mine.
Queen: Of course she is. Leave her head where it is, get her a
croquet mallet and let her play. (waving her hand)
Alice: Your majesty, I don’t know the rules.
Queen: Neither does anyone dear. I change them too often for
anyone to keep up!

The Cat gives Alice a mallet. She takes it and looks at it, puzzled. Then
she sits down on the ground, watching the Queen and the Cat hitting the
ball with the mallet and trying to go through a curved-over playing card.
Narrator 1: And with that, Alice was delivered her very own croquet
mallet to participate in the game.
Narrator 2: Little did she know that the game was as absurd as her
whole day had been.
Narrator 3: Alice sat on the ground and watched the game in

front of her.
Narrator 4: She couldn’t believe what her day had become.
Narrator 1: And she STILL hadn’t found The White Rabbit and found
out what he was up to!
Alice yawns, stretches and lies down on the ground.
Narrator 2: Alice put her head down on the ground, all of a sudden
overwhelmed with sleep.
Narrator 4: But before she could get taken away with anymore dreams,
she sat up with a start.
The Queen, Cat and the cards exit the stage. The croquet mallet is also
removed. Alice’s sister enters the stage as Alice sits up and looks around.
Narrator 3: She was back where it had all begun.
Narrator 2: In the park with her sister.
Alice: Where am I? (rubbing her eyes sleepily) Where is The

White Rabbit?
Sister: The white rabbit? (laughing) Oh sister, what a dream you

must have had!
