Netia Jones SITE
"Netia Jones is the most imaginative director of opera working in Britain today".
Observer
A glittering and crazed work by Chin and librettist David Henry Hwang, the riotous exhilaration and jet-black humour of the score meet their match tonight in Netia Jones’s tour de force production. Celebrated for her innovative multimedia creations, including Britten’s Curlew River at St Giles Cripplegate in 2013, director/designer/video artist Jones realises her vision of the composer’s surreal take on Carroll by combining the darkly imaginative illustrations of gonzo-artist Ralph Steadman with live action, interactive animated projections, eye-popping costumes and choreography.
Please note that this production is not suitable for under-12s.

"Purity of line and beauty of form come together in Ralph Steadman’s wonderful illustrations for Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Drawn in the early 1970’s, they are Steadman before the rush and savagery of Gonzo entered his soul. They are from a time of innocence. The crispness of the black and white in these illustrations gives them an incredible elegence. Art deco and a modern sensibility, with the slightest nod to Tennison himself." (artist's website)
a great documentary about Ralph Steadman
