Alice in Wonderland and Other Adventures With Lewis Carroll

Actor Richard Smithies looks ‘surprisingly like’ Lewis Carroll says the Fringe catalogue – unfortunately, this is where the positives end. The songs are badly sung to midi backing tracks, the costume ill-fitting, the delivery stilted and crucial episodes in the Alice saga are skipped over entirely. The sole infant attending the same performance as The List slept through the latter half – a wise move on her part.

New Town Theatre, 220 0143, until 28 Aug (not 16), 11.30am, £7–£8 (£5–£6).
