Alice in Funderland 

“We’re all mad here” – The Cheshire Cat 
“You’re off your bleedin' head!” – The Duchess

Unlucky in love, Corkonian Alice is all set for her sister's wedding (always the bridesmaid and never the bride), when a chance encounter with delivery boy Warren sends her spiraling through the Dublin streets.

In an epic chase for love on the strangest night of her life, Alice tumbles through the dark, bombarded by grinning politicians, pyjama clad bowsies, egg heads on the edge, the self help mafia, media gargoyles, twisted scissor sisters, and of course, Delores - The Queen of Hartstown.
 
Things sure ain't what they used to be. The looking glass is well and truly cracked. But is true love possible on the other side… or is this town just full of clowns?

Following a bumper 2010 season with WERK at the Abbey, Queer Notions at Project Arts Centre and huge success at Electric Picnic, THISISPOPBABY bring you a modern day fairy tale for the electropop generation. Full of explosive tunes, unforgettable characters and crackling action, this is a work-in-progress presentation of an essential new musical about the here and the now.

The amazing cast consists of: Yasmine Akram, Susannah de Wrixon, Tony Flynn, Sarah Greene, Ian Lloyd Anderson, Ruth McGill, Kathy Rose O'Brien, Mark O'Regan and Paul Reid. Visuals by Jack Phelan. Graphic Design by Pony Ltd. Produced by Jennifer Jennings.
