Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
July 2010
With a cast of 57 lower school students, and crew members from upper school, Clemence Dane's ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass’ was performed in front of sell-out audiences on 8th and 9th July. Adapted from the story by Lewis Carroll, Alice follows a mysterious White Rabbit she sees while on a day out with her sisters. She falls down the rabbit-hole and finds herself growing and shrinking, falling into her own pool of tears, meeting creatures great and small from the Mouse to the Caterpillar to the March Hare and Mad Hatter. She avoids a beheading when she meets the Queen of Hearts and manages to escape through the Looking-Glass.
The second half sees Alice meet Tweedledum and Tweedledee as she tries to get to the other side of a chess-board to become a ‘Queen’ and therefore go home. Aided by the White and Red Queens, the White King and the White Knight, she has to reach the elusive ‘eighth square’.
