Beware the Jabberwock by Ron Nicol
£8.95
A great choice for key stage three.
Suggested by the poem "Jabberwocky", the play is set in the fantasy world of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice' stories. Shortlisted in Scottish and Welsh playwriting competitions, one judge commented "it has the same delightfully confusing dialogue of Carroll's work and brings back fond memories of reading these stories as a child. Wonderfully cryptic nonsensical moments as well as moments of philosophical clarity made me smile and wonder. This play will go down a treat with children and adults alike."
An ideal play for young people to perform, or for adults to perform to a young audience. Learn More
