THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

From the BBC webpages -

Alice Through The Looking Glass

Lewis Carroll's fantastical story collides with Radio 4 in Stephen Wyatt's dramatisation. Alice crashes through the mirror onto a giant game of chess and an adventure begins.

This magical world is set out like a giant chess board and Alice discovers science, maths, poetry, riddles, and wordplay. This is a new drama that offers the listener more than meets the ear and features a host of much-loved Radio 4 personalities including Jenni Murray, Roger McGough, Jane Garvey, Eric Robson, Jim Al-Khalili, Pippa Greenwood, Peter Donaldson, Kirsty Young, Andrew Marr, Evan Davies, Garry Richardson and Melvyn Bragg.

The main cast include Lauren Mote as Alice, Julian Rhind-Tutt as Lewis Carroll, Carole Boyd as The Red Queen, Sally Phillips as The White Queen, Nicholas Parsons as Humpty Dumpty, Alistair McGowan as Tweedledee & Tweedledum, John Rowe as The White Knight, Robert Blythe as The White King, Ben Crowe as the Messenger, Patrick Brennan as the Guard and Stephanie Racine as Pudding.

I just heard "Through the Looking Glass on BBC Radio 4" and loved it. Excellent adaptation perfectly in the spirit of the original and beautifully performed. The radio pictures were wonderful too. Have you also made a radio version of "Alice in Wonderland" ? If not, please do and I will be certain to listen.

Thank you so much.
