Perth Youth Theatre storms the Main Stage with ALICE, Laura Wade’s thrilling contemporary reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s classic story, directed by Olivier Award-winning Scottish theatre-maker Cora Bissett.

Escaping the difficulties of everyday life, Alice finds herself in the extraordinary world of Wonderland, where familiar rules no longer apply and a succession of eccentric characters awaits. Through humour, imagination and increasingly surreal encounters, the play explores identity, growing up, and finding your place in a world that can often feel confusing and unpredictable.

Presented as part of PYT’s continuing 60th anniversary celebrations, ALICE places young performers at the centre of an ambitious Main Stage production. They work with an established Scottish director on a contemporary play by an internationally recognised writer.

Come and see the stars of tomorrow, today.
