Jaques, Zoe; Giddens, Eugene (2012). Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass: A Publishing History. Routledge. p.202. Despite the original stories' reliance on wordplay, puns, and nonsense, Alice has become such an icon that she is often used as a touchstone even within primarily visual media. When Christopher Wheeldon first suggested a ballet version, his designer Bob Crowley reportedly thought he was "completely insane" to make a wordless Wonderland. But the Royal Ballet's 2011 show was a huge hit – not least because of Crowley's designs, which combined familiar Alice shorthands with classical tutus and cutting-edge stagecraft, from op-art projections to a multi-part Cheshire cat puppet. The Queen of Hearts stepped out of an intimidatingly huge crinoline-cum-throne-cum-tank, to dance a parody of a sequence from the ballet Sleeping Beauty: both very Lewis Carroll, and very ballet. Carroll first met Alexander Macmillan, a high-powered London publisher, on 19 October 1863. [11] His firm, Macmillan Publishers, agreed to publish Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by sometime in 1864. [67] Carroll financed the initial print run, possibly because it gave him more editorial authority than other financing methods. [67] He managed publication details such as typesetting and engaged illustrators and translators. [68]Marill, Alvin H. (1993). More Theatre: Stage to Screen to Television. Vol.1.

During the trip Carroll told the girls a story that he described in his diary as "Alice's Adventures Under Ground" and which his journal says he "undertook to write out for Alice". [9] Alice Liddell recalled that she asked Carroll to write it down: unlike other stories he had told her, this one she wanted to preserve. [10] She finally received the manuscript more than two years later. [11] Joseph Papp staged Alice in Concert at the Public Theater in New York City in 1980. Elizabeth Swados wrote the book, lyrics, and music. Based on both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Papp and Swados had previously produced a version of it at the New York Shakespeare Festival. Meryl Streep played Alice, the White Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. [119] The cast also included Debbie Allen, Michael Jeter, and Mark Linn-Baker. Performed on a bare stage with the actors in modern dress, the play is a loose adaptation, with song styles ranging the globe.

Did I say that Through the Looking-Glass was trippy? It's nothing compared to this installment. In fact, throughout most of Sylvie and Bruno, I was only 50% sure that I was correct about what was even happening. Robson, Catherine (2001).
