Alice In Concert
by Lewis Carroll, Elizabeth Swados
Highlights
Synopsis
Meryl Streep starred as "Alice" at New York's Public Theatre.
Later aired on PBS, this imaginative rendering of the Lewis Carroll classic is performed concert-style on a bare stage, the actors in modern rehearsal clothes.
Stylistically, the music ranges from rock to country/western to calypso, as the outlandish characters of "Wonderland" are reinterpreted in this "story theatre"--Type setting.
"Ms. Swados' new dramatized cantata ... made me think of Carroll very deeply ... [She] magnificently catches most of Carroll's divine nuttiness."-The New York Post
