Huge turn up For Risa Ballet's Alice In Wonderland

The most recent has been the Tim Burton directed movie starring Johnny Depp (as the Mad Hatter) and Mia Wasikowska as the title character.  But those Hollywood people can't have all the fun, as Risa Ballet showed this weekend in their re-interpretation of the story of the little girl with a hyper-imagination. The ballet company played Alice In Wonderland on Friday and Saturday at Maru-a-Pula School's Maitisong Theatre to a full audience.

The well-known story goes that Alice, when sitting by a river bank with her sister, notices a rather harried white rabbit taking a watch out of its waist-coat pocket and hurrying past her and down into a rabbit hole.  Alice, curious about the rabbit with both a waistcoat and a watch, follows the rabbit down the hole, and it is when she falls down into wonderland that she meets a myriad of characters - wise, evil and plain mad.
