Alice in Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll
Dramatized by Charlotte B. Chorpenning

Lewis Carroll's immortal children's classic continues to delight the young at heart, even 150 years after publication. In this story, a young lady named Alice, who has long hair and a pocket in her dress or apron, dreams the most bizarre and ridiculous adventures, until she is awakened by leaves fluttering onto her face.

In Wonderland she has avariety of absurd encounters: chasing a White Rabbit with a pocket watch, starving at a crazy tea party, strugglilng througha ridiculous game of croquet, and testifying in a kangaroo court. For Wonderland is inhabited by a veritable rogues' gallery of odd characters: a grinning Cheshire cat, a Mad Hatter, a hookah-smoking caterpillar, a sad mock turtle and a pack of feaful playing cards.

Undergoing many almostpsychedelic size changes, Alice struggles to retain her true identity--often lamenting that she is not the girl she was yesterday. Desperate to find herself again, she eats and drinks a succession of strange items with curious labels--or none at all. But it's not just her size which is dubious; even her mind shifts into Wonderland gears--causing her trouble and embarrassment with her usual recitations.
