Alice
Mon, 24 Sept 2007, 02:12 amFirst of all hello to everyone who reads this. I am in the process of writing an Alice in Wonderland pantomime. Does anyone know if this has already been done, and if so, where and when? I am planning on doing the version where she discovers the garden of talking flowers.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Mon, 24 Sept 2007, 04:15 pmCharles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) died in 1898 so his work now lies in the public domain. That means you can adapt his prose work into a play if you wish without permission. Copy right ends 75 years after the death of the author.
There have to my knowledge been a number of adaptations of Alice both "In wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" which are of course different books. This doesn't mean that you should not continue with your work. I don't remember seeing the talking flowers on stage in a production although my wife who is looking over my shoulder says she has. The Alice stories are wonderful and never seem to lose their charm, each generation rediscovers them for themselves. Go for it.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
