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.
