  • Takes Alice to a Very Different Wonderland November 4, 2009 | 5:43 Am
    Hero Complex For your inner fanboy 'Looking Glass Wars' takes Alice to a very different Wonderland November 4, 2009 | 5:43 am The rabbit hole is getting crowded again. It’s been 144 years since Lewis Carroll introduced the world to an inquisitive girl named Alice, but her surreal adventures still resonate – Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” arrives in theaters in March and next month on SyFy it's “Alice,” a modern-day reworking of the familiar mythology with a cast led by Kathy Bates and Tim Curry. And then there’s “The Looking Glass Wars,” the series of bestselling novels by Frank Beddor that takes the classic 19th century children’s tale off into a truly unexpected literary territory – the battlefields of epic fantasy. The series began in 2006 and Beddor’s third “Looking Glass Wars” novel, “ArchEnemy,” just hit stores in October, as did a tie-in graphic novel called “Hatter M: Mad with Wonder.” Beddor said it’s intriguing to see other creators at play in the same literary playground. “It’s amazing how many directions it’s been taken in,” Beddor said of Carroll’s enduring creations. “There’s something so rich and magical and whimsical about the original story and the characters and then there’s all those dark under-themes. Artists get inspired and they keep redefining it for a contemporary audience.” Indeed, creative minds as diverse as Walt Disney, the Jefferson Airplane, Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Tom Petty, the Wachowski Brothers, Tom Waits and American McGee have adapted Carroll’s tale or borrowed memorably from its imagery.

This production is dedicated to Sam Shepard. A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR The Dance of Death has amazing significance to the whole world of contemporary drama. The "trapped" nature of its characters feels like Sartre's No Exit (and its classic line "Hell is other people"). And its foreshadow- ing of Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf is uncannily prescient, almost as if Albee "channeled" Strindberg in cooking up his own mixture of raucous verbal battle and deadly humor.

Woods Spring 2011 Mentor: Dr. Precious McKenzie-Stearns Reader: Dr. Laura Head Woods 2 Alice’s Adventures and Bleak House: Authors, Illustrators, and Victorian Professional Networking The Victorian Age was a time of great change politically, socially, and morally for the nation of England. Reform was rampant in both the government and the social structure as advancing technology changed how people viewed themselves and their legacies. For the first time, photography was able to capture a single event for future generations, and technology allowed for the first mass production of images, leading to a change in the way people considered appearances and reality, both in their own lives and in the fiction they so readily devoured.
