The KU Theatre for Young People opens its season with the popular story of Alice and her adventures through the looking glass. A memory play set in the early 1920's as an elderly Alice reflects on the telling of the original story, this adaptation is faithful to Carroll?s original tale, Alice in Wonderland, keeping the Victorian charm and merriment as the audience is transported magically through the looking glass to a land of comic fantasy where logic is nonsense. Alice soon discovers that the landscape is marked out like a giant chessboard with ordinary objects, people and events, jumbled together with talking animals, animated chess pieces and creatures from fairy tale and folklore. She meets talking flowers, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, sees Humpty Dumpty fall from his wall, meets again the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, and eventually a gentle White Knight rescues her from the cruel Red Knight, so she can become a Queen. This classic play will be staged for the fourth through sixth grade students in the Lawrence and Douglas County school as well as for the public.
