Many of us grew up with a parent or teacher reading us the classic tale of Alice In Wonderland as we discovered Alice and her journey into the world of Wonderland. We first were introduced to Alice as she hopped down a rabbit hole and explored the fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures such as the White Rabbit and the Cheshire Cat. This classic story will probably stay with us for the remainder of our lives as it engages and draws in the audience on many levels.
At Backdrops By Charles H. Stewart, we have over 15 specific backdrops created with Alice In Wonderland in mind. Let’s explore this classic story and how our backdrops can help your production come to life.
The Tale of Alice In Wonderland
Alice in Wonderland opened on December 23, 1886, at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London and was based upon Lewis Carroll’s book of the same name. It was and is still one of the most successful children’s books of all time.
The musical and theatrical performance chronicles the story of a young girl, Alice, who stumbles across a fantasy world on a beautiful summer day. She follows a creature, which we will later find out to be the White Rabbit, down a hole only to discover a mysterious underground world she calls Wonderland. While in the underground fantasy world, Alice encounters fabulous creatures that defy all reasonable expectations.
After shrinking and growing with the help of a magical potion and food, she starts to encounter fantastical creatures who teach her a little more about her world including twin jabbering clowns, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, who teach her some manners. She also meets the Mad Hatter who plays a game of musical chairs with the young girl at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. She also encounters the endlessly grinning Cheshire Cat who appears and disappears in the blink of an eye.
All of these anthropomorphic creatures frustrate and entertain young Alice until she finally awakes and realizes the entire thing has been a dream!
