about

After a year defined by muted screens, distance learning, and Zoom happy hours, Alice, a college student, falls down the rabbit hole into a world almost as strange as the one she left behind. Careening from mad tea parties to grinning cats to the dreaded Queen of Hearts, "Alice Underground" poses a question: in the midst of the uncontrollable, who are you?

Based on "Alice in Wonderland" and "Alice Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll
Adapted by Amanda Nelson and Whitney Eggers
