Gardens have been buried. Stories are losing their endings. Hope has become contraband. Rebellion has been repackaged as entertainment, and frightened citizens survive by applauding at the correct moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWonderland's final hope is Alice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is only one problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe no longer remembers the magical kingdom, the terrified White Rabbit, the dying flowers, or the Mad Hatter who once helped send her through the Looking Glass. When the Hatter enters the human world to bring her back, the crossing strips away his memories-and Alice follows him into a Wonderland where everyone knows her name, everyone needs something from her, and no one wants to admit what they did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaiting beneath the familiar madness is a devastating secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlice was never simply lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe was chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSent away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd now Wonderland has selected another child to take her place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWonderland: The Alice Story is a dark, funny, politically explosive theatrical reimagining of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Robert Jerome Pagan transforms Lewis Carroll's iconic characters into survivors, collaborators, revolutionaries, failed leaders, frightened artists, and children forced to carry the consequences of adult decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not the Wonderland of tea parties and harmless nonsense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a kingdom where the Queen of Hearts calls fear safety. Where the White Court calls sacrifice protection. Where the Hatter drinks to forget. Where rebellion is performed nightly with a two-drink minimum.
