N.O.W. 2019: Nimita’s Place – Staged Reading (Review)

Andsoforth’s naughty side is realised in full with this curious cabaret. When Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865, chances are he never imagined it would ever be adapted into a cheeky cabaret, complete with his characters dressed in fishnet tights, thigh-high boots and all dragged up. To be honest though, he might end up enjoying it, especially if it comes in the form of … Continue reading Review: The Wonderland Cabaret by Andsoforth
