Alice in Wonderland (play)

About

Alice Gerstenberg's 1915 stage adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass was one of the most successful early dramatizations of Carroll's work, performed extensively by amateur and professional companies alike. Gerstenberg compressed both novels into a single theatrical experience while preserving the most beloved episodes: the Mad Hatter's tea party, the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts. The play is particularly well-suited to group performance, with its large cast of distinct fantasy characters offering roles for many performers simultaneously.
