Alice in Wonderland

Who are you? What is real? It is with childlike simplicity that these two questions are numerously posed within Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Perhaps it is because sufficient answers are never reached through out our lives that the story of one girl's trip through her own imagination stays with us beyond childhood. After all, the Caterpillar and the Red King weren't the first ones to pose these questions. Philosophers, psychologists, theologists and hedonists alike have all offered insights and insults one the nature of self and the battle between realism and anti-realism. And somewhere in between the texts, studies and equations, we are left to live out our lives, perhaps never having a better understanding of what it all means at the end than when we started. Lewis Carroll embodied that never ending questioning and confusion through Alice's innocent awkwardness with the rules of the outside world as parodied by his infamous characters, Wandering Rom's third production hoped to bring forth Alice's originals wonderings through a retelling that focuses on the questions of sense and nonsense, of who we are and why are we here and what does it mean anyway. the majority of the script was taken directly from the two books with a sprinkling of thoughts from great thinks like Einstein, Buddha, Beckett and Hunter S. This Alice may or may not be the same blushing prepubescent originally penned, but her wanderings follow the same journey through self and understanding against the constraints of the authoritative influences around her. Wonderland may never have given us the answerers, but maybe something far more important. Questions. So this dark retelling asks again; Who, What, Where and most importantly Why?
