 This in via the stage:
Buffini’s musical spin on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, reformed for the digital age on the Olivier stage as Wonder.land “got sharked”, she says. It attracted more first-time theatregoers than any other National show. “They loved it. The critics tore it to pieces: ‘Damon Albarn – what’s he doing in theatre? Take him down. Rufus Norris – he’s not Nick Hytner. Take him down.’ ” Buffini is proud of the show. Watched with teenage eyes, she thought it a joy.
