In the summer of 1996 English Heritage, guardians of Walmer Castle, invited Theatre Nomad to stage a community production of Alice in Wonderland. So it was that the spirit of the Deal Theatre Project returned with actors from Theatre Nomad and a large cast of local young people to create Alice and Friends. Local Primary School teachers reported that going to see Alice at Walmer Castle featured in their pupils’ news books for weeks after.
