Future Yard is staging its second ever Gig Panto this December, bringing a psychedelic rock twist to Alice in Wonderland at the Birkenhead venue.

As reported by The Guide Liverpool, the production is in collaboration with Off The Ground Theatre. It will feature a mixture of live concert vibes with pantomime comedy and festive charm.

The production will have a live band covering psychedelic classics from The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, 13th Floor Elevators, Love, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones, and your holiday favourites.

The plot centres around Alice when her demo track gets stolen by the White Rabbit. She chases him down an acoustic rabbit hole.

Entering a new world, Alice goes back to Wonderland, inspired by Merseyside to experience a psychedelic tour. she tumbles into a surreal. To get her music back her music and expose the Queen's hidden plot, Alice must out-rock a royal group.

Mat Oliphant, co-director of Off The Ground Theatre, told The Guide: "We couldn't be more excited to return to Future Yard this festive period with another spectacularly whacky Gig Panto. We're packing in more adventure, laughs and ridiculous characters, with the incredible new space at Future Yard giving us the freedom to level up the production."

The show will run between 22nd and 31st December. Evening shows start at 7:30pm, with afternoon matinees at 1:30pm on 24th and 31st December.

Standard adult tickets cost £17.50, concessions £12.50, and under-12s £10. Family packages covering two adults and two children are available for £50, with group rates also on offer.
