Alice in Wonderland
Brixton House, London

 

AFTER a modern-day Alice argues with her mum at Brixton underground station, the two are separated when she jumps on a train just as the doors are closing.

Unrepentant at first, Alice soon changes her tune as she finds out she’s not on a real journey but in a jangly Tube dreamland, where a host of strange figures are trapped on a never-ending trip to nowhere.
