AddressDolphin Theatre, University of Western Australia
A new adaptation of Lewis CarrollÂ’s Alice in Wonderland will be staged by the University Dramatic Society at the Dolphin Theatre, UWA for two weeks in October.
First-time writer/director Ichina Sasamori has produced a fresh and energetic show that preserves CarrollÂ’s original madcap text while utilising the talents of the clubÂ’s up-and-coming actors and designers to create a visual spectacular.
UDS presents the darker side of CarrollÂ’s story with a frenetic energy. SasamoriÂ’s vision takes an innovative approach to the characters and staging, with a cast that includes three different Alices, as well as cross-gendering in the roles of the Queen of Hearts and the Duchess. All this, combined with the skills of young, highly creative and experienced costume and lighting designers has created Alice in Wonderland like youÂ’ve never seen it before.
Alice follows in the grand UDS tradition of entertaining spoofs, set by the enormously popular Monkey and the Hung-Well Monks (2001) and The Phantum: Evil Sucks (2002). The 30 strong cast includes Cat Commander and Liam Ryan, of recent Blue Room success Monogamy, and features music by local composer and musician Ashleigh Greig.
