The Warehouse Theatre
Ilminster
Woken from a dream in the park Alice quickly finds herself part of the Rabbit Resistance Army, led by Brigadier Bunny Warren, code name White Rabbit.
​
The rebellion is against the Red Queen, the bad-tempered, tyrannical ruler of Blunderland, who controls Blunderland with her card army, monstrous Troll and Executioners (who would really rather be running a beauty salon). To further her evil plans she has recruited the notorious Tweedle Brothers, entrepreneurs, extortionists and total incompetents.
White Rabbit has the backing of the Duchess (the King’s sister), Jilly the Jester, Molly her daughter and Harvey – the newly arrived portrait painter, who instantly falls for Alice. In the neutral corner are the three loonies: March Hare, Mad Hatter and the somnolent Dormouse.
And way too cool to be involved is the Cat: “Peace and love, man.”
​
Will it all end in cheers? Oh yes it will!

RAIN OR SHINE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENT:
​
Agatha Appleton and the Peril of the Pyramids
​
It’s the early 1930s and librarian Agatha Appleton finds herself embroiled in a hilarious Egyptian adventure that will test her courage, her wits, and her heart. Can our hero outsmart her enemies and uncover the mysteries of the ancient world? Or will she fall victim to the deadly traps and curses that guard the Mummy’s tomb? From the team that gave you ‘Around The World in 80 Days’ and ‘Sherlock Holmes and The Music Hall Mystery’ comes a good old-fashioned slice of Archaeological adventure heavily laced with our trademark silliness.
Join Rain or Shine this Winter for an evening of side-splitting spills and thrills in a theatrical tour-de-force for all the family.
18th – 21st February 2026 at 7:30pm
An Evening of Three One-Act Plays

AN ACTOR’S NIGHTMARE by Christopher Durang - Directed by Clare Brett - George wanders on stage and is met by stage manager Meg, who says he is to fill infor an actor who has had an accident. But what in? Is this a nightmare, or something even more sinister? Taking its inspiration from the nightmare that actors of any
background will have suffered – appearing on stage without having prepared – Durang‘s taut, smart comedy wields theatre history like an executioner’s blade.
​
THE PROMISE Written and Directed by Valda Dagnell.
A long-married couple come to the point of putting into practice what they have promised each other - that if and when the time came that they couldn’t cope, they would help each other to die, peacefully, together. The play looks back on a lifetime spent together, and what may be the limits of love and loyalty.
​
KNOCKIN’ ON DAVE’S DOOR by Neil Webster – Directed by Ken Cooper. American singer/songwriter, Bob Dylan, flies to London to visit his friend, Dave Stewart – one half of The Eurythmics. Confused by the many similar street names in Crouch End, Dylan calls at the wrong house – that of Dave, a plumber, and a serious Bob Dylan fan.
