Alice in Wonderland
In the summer of 2025, the Helsby Players took the audience on an wonderish adventure in the new location of Helsby Methodist Church, as we performed Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, adapted for stage by Andrew Biliter. We chased the rabbit, considered with the caterpillar, conversed with the cat and chattered with the hatter, growing taller and smaller all the while!
