Things cycle. Alice in Wonderland seems really hot right now. I am not sure what happened in popular conscience to get everyone so interested about this show. I did some research online (Wikipedia)and it turns out there have been Alice stage adaptions for the past 130 years. Before the ink was dry on Lewis Carrol's book, there was a London stage adaption. I guess its just that this story is so timeless and compelling that makes it so adaptable. Thank God for public domain.
