Alice

Adapted by Jerome McDonough. Based on the novels by Lewis Carroll.

Product Code: AG9000

One-act Play
Recommended For: Elementary School | Middle School | High School | College Theatre | TYA | Touring Group
Cast Size: 10+ actors, flexible.

Livestream and Record & Stream Rights Available

Approx. Run Time: 35 min.

This one-act dramatization of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is distinguished by the ingenious directions for making all the magical special effects easy to stage. It is both fun to do and fun to watch. Most of the revered characters are here: the rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the Cheshire Cat, and, perhaps best of all, the Oyster show. With no front curtain, the main stage is skeletal and a bit dark. Recommended for contest, children's theatre and workshops.
