About Wonderland Productions
Wonderland Theatre Welcome to Wonderland! At Wonderland we love to offer our audiences a thrilling night out. Through our portfolio of site-specific performances, classic comedies, new writing, dinner theatre, opera, and drama workshops, we are committed to engaging with our audiences, in a meaningful, spirited and more often than not, fun and surprising way. That is why audiences flock to our shows, and that is why our shows tour extensively, both in Ireland and internationally.

In 2010 we were resident at Mermaid Arts Centre Bray with whom we have developed a fruitful relationship, touring over twenty performances of our dinner theatre shows to restaurants and country houses throughout County Wicklow, producing our most fantastical spectacle to date, Gulliver's Travels, and initiating our children's drama workshops series, which will expand to five nationwide Arts Centres over ten week-long workshops in 2012.

It is wonderful to think that since our foundation by writer/director Alice Coghlan in 2003, we have staged over five hundred successful performances, producing 121 performances in 2010 alone and employing over 55 theatre artists and practitioners in that same year.

Looking forward to 2012, Wonderland will be moving from the theatre to the streets for its site-specific staging of Sylvia's Quest, an audio experience on headphones with two live actresses, and a self-guided audio tour of James Joyce's Dubliners with Dublin One City One Book.


FIVE STARS "Quite simply superb! Witty, wonderful, Wonderland... the most promising company since the debut years of Rough Magic ... Without any risk of overstatement, Wonderland Productions is a company that is really going places" - The Irish Times

Wonderland Workshops
Wonderland has been holding workshops since we launched our Children's Drama and Dance Workshops in 2005. Our 2010 residency and ongoing relationship with Mermaid Arts Centre in Bray means that we can expand this important strand of our work with regular week-long drama workshops for children during the school holidays and midterms, as well as offering other outreach workshops to the Wicklow community, children and other theatre professionals in conjunction with our shows at Mermaid. Since our popular children's workshops began in Mermaid they have now expanded to Arts Centres in Newbridge, Carlow and Dun Laoghaire.
