A murder mystery adapted featuring familiar characters from Carol’s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass who find themselves at a tea party like no other. An original design-led piece exploring the themes of misogyny, victim blaming and other nonsense. Come along to see the Mad Hatter leading a murder enquiry that takes an unexpected turn. ‘Checkmate’ was part of a theatre festival called ‘Fresh Fest’.
