Alice by Heart is a musical theatre production presented by LAMDA's Musical Theatre ensemble at the Forest Theatre. Set in London in 1940, Alice and Alfred shelter in the London Underground during the Blitz. With the world above on fire, they hold onto Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, a story they know by heart. As they fall deeper into the tale, faces blur, time slips, and familiar characters emerge in unfamiliar forms. The production explores the comforting yet corrosive power of imagination, with distressing themes handled sensitively. Running time is 100 minutes, with tickets from £12.50.

LAMDA's Musical Theatre ensemble brings a wartime setting and a beloved literary world together in a production that asks what stories do for us when reality becomes unbearable. A thoughtful and evocative piece for audiences aged 12 and over.
