GWENT THEATRE presents GWENT YOUNG PEOPLE'S THEATRE in 'ALICE'S ADVENTURES UNDER GROUND' Adapted from the writings of Lewis Carroll By Christopher Hampton At The Borough Theatre, Abergavenny On January 22nd, 23rd, 24th at 7.30pm (January 24th - Signed Performance) and January 23rd at 1.30pm 'Christopher Hampton's haunting and enchanting play resurrects Lewis Carroll and his haunted, enchanted world. The play brings to life the Alice books as his private emotional fantasies and dreams. Hampton shows that Carroll's unforgettable characters embody the inscrutable banalities of the grown-up world, full of childish, evasive, over sensitive adults with their incomprehensible logic and menacing joviality, as seen by a precocious, observant child........Ninety minutes of sheer uninterrupted magic.' John Peter, Sunday Times. Alice's Adventures Under Ground premiered at the Cottesloe, Royal National Theatre in 1994. Through the Gwent Young People's Theatre, Gwent Theatre offers opportunities for young people to participate in a wide range of theatre activities under the direction of professional theatre practitioners.

'Polished, accomplished, stylish, mature - there's very little else to be said about Gwent Young People's Theatre. The entire ensemble pulled together to create a flawless example of teamwork.'
