Behind the scenes at Scottish Ballet’s Alice

Just picture it. A summer’s day in 1862, a rowing boat on a lazy river, and a little girl called Alice Liddell who asks one of the adults for a story … Luckily for her, and for us, that imaginatively yarning adult is Charles Dodgson, better known to millions since as Lewis Carroll. The fantastical legacy of that boat trip will arrive in book form three years later. It so captures the public’s imagination that Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland has never been out of print.
