‘Of course that’s how it begins: a harmless fairy tale to pass the hours’

When Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932, the original Alice in Wonderland came face to face with the original Peter Pan. In John Logan’s remarkable new play, enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bare the lives of these two extraordinary characters.

This is the first new play from three-time Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and playwright John Logan since his play Red went on to sell thousands of copies and played London to great acclaim before transferring to a smash hit Broadway run where it won six Tony Awards including Best New Play. His work for the stage includes Never the Sinner, Hauptmann, a new adaptation of Ibsen's The Master Builder and Red, the Tony-winning play about painter Mark Rothko. Logan's work as a screenwriter includes Skyfall, Sweeney Todd, The Aviator, Hugo, Gladiator, The Last Samurai, Rango, Coriolanus and Any Given Sunday.
