The timeless classic by Lewis Carroll has made a huge comeback in the entertainment world this year--or perhaps I'm just noticing it more.
Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass have always been one of my favorite stories (or two of my favorites if you consider them separately). Lewis Carroll's works have always fascinated me in the way he talks about nonsense in a way that makes such sense. The creatures that talk and the people that sing and recite poetry creates such a magical world before there was Harry Potter. With the sudden Alice craze, it is easy to compare the movie and play versions of the story.
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland for the screen opened yesterday, which I am excited to see, but will likely be disappointed.
The Shakespeare Studio, a non-profit community theatre in Johns Creek GA, also opened a play version of Alice.
And, last but not least, the professional Alliance Theatre is playing Alice Through the Looking Glass March 31-May 2.
Will these versions serve justice to my favorite classic?
