About the show

After an explosive argument with Mum at Brixton Underground Station, eleven-year-old Alice leaps onto the tube seconds before the doors hiss shut. Trapped on a train speeding into Nonsense, surrounded by weird and wonderful passengers, and at the mercy of a Queen who won’t relinquish the controls, can Alice turn this train around? Multi-award-winning company Poltergeist weaves rap music together with the sights and sounds of Brixton into a hundred-mile-an-hour Christmas adventure.

Brixton House

Brixton House is a modern arts venue in South London. An inspired vision to build a cultural hub centred on the legacy of the former Ovalhouse Theatre. Our new multi-arts venue, with a particular focus on theatre, tells stories from underheard voices and communities that represent our home in the heart of Brixton.
