Jabberwocky


Clockwise from top left: The brave Knight; The baby Jubjub bird; The Bandersnatch munching the noble Squire

We ummed and ahhed about which theatre production to see while we were at Wilderness, before deciding to embark on the magical quest to slay the Jabberwocky.  

Based on Lewis Carroll’s classic poem, we journeyed through ancient woodland encountering theatre, poetry, music, and stunning puppetry as we followed a brave Knight and his Squire on their quest to find and then slay the Jabberwocky to ultimately win a princess’s heart.

It was wonderfully funny and highly entertaining, the sets and props were enchanting, the puppets were simply brilliant, and the actors incredibly engaging.

Five stars.
