Free Theatre Christchurch presents Ubu in Wonderland

Free Theatre Christchurch presents:
Ubu in Wonderland


“In a Wonderland they lie, Dreaming as the days go by, Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream - Lingering in the golden gleam - Life, what is it but a dream?”

Ubu returns with a special trip down the rabbit hole. Enjoy Mock Turtle Soup with the Mad Hatter while escaping the fury of the Red Queen and listening to the woeful tunes of Humpty Dumpty channelling Tom Waits, The Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Marianne Faithfull, Nick Cave, Siouxsie and the Banshees and more. The White Rabbit is sure to appear and the Cheshire Cat will tell you exactly where to go. We’re all mad here!


Ubu Nights are quite unlike anything else - anywhere! Combining theatre, music, film and hospitality, enter exhilarating, sensory environments where the unexpected is to be expected.

Proudly supported by The Arts Centre - Christchurch and Christchurch Creative Communities, Free Theatre together with its hospitality partner The Rolling Om collaborates with a diversity of artists to create spectacular experiences. Ubu's Bar is stocked with the finest from Black Estate Wines and Cassels & Sons with an Ubu Special reflecting the experience of the night.
