Alice

adapted by Lindsay Price Canadian Author from Lewis Carroll

A one-act adaptation of the famous novel by Lewis Carroll.

Alice follows the white rabbit down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, where she meets a cornucopia of strange creatures.

A caterpillar gives advice, the Mad Hatter and March Hare are always at tea time, and the Queen of Hearts continually cries, "Off with her head!"

The Cheshire Cat says everyone in Wonderland is mad, and therefore Alice must be too. Has Alice lost her head? Only the Cheshire Cat knows for sure.

Praise for Alice

Danville Park Girls High School
I chose ALICE because of the wonderful over-the-top characters that offer an excellent opportunity for young performers to experiment with vocal and physical characterisation. The performers had an absolute ball, and the director's "creative muscles" also got a workout bringing the technical elements to life!
