An inspired companion piece to wonder.land, the big new musical that opened MIF15, High Tea in Wonderland led festivalgoers down a very different rabbit hole. Guided by a White Rabbit, audiences were spirited through the Manchester Museum and into a labyrinth of laboratories, herbariums and other hidden spaces, where a succession of incredible, inventive and occasionally surreal dishes were presented by assorted characters from Lewis Carroll’s famous tale. The food was devised and prepared by Mary-Ellen McTague, formerly of the Aumbry in Prestwich and one of the city’s most esteemed chefs.
