Directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, with music by Nick Moore
This is a loose adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland," decidedly not for children. The play begins with Alice Liddell playing with Charles Dodgson, and ends when Alice succeeds in getting into the garden. The twelve scenes explore aspects of Alice, and Dodgson's relationship with her through various character pairings and re-interpreted scenes (the Tea Party, the Caucus Race) from the novel.
In her nytheatre.com review, Liz Kimberlin wrote: "Anne Phelan does her own decidedly adult but wistful take on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...at its heart, this story is of a doomed non-romance and love mutually unrequited....The text sounds true and faithful to Lewis Carroll's story and the actors carry it off beautifully...it's a lovely, speculative story...."
Workshopped by the Milk Can Theatre Company in January 2004, directed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer.
