Alice in Wonderland Directed by Craig Trauschke
9 -13 actors (men and women) The character descriptions are as follows:
Alice is the main character of the story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and the sequel "Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there". She is a seven-year-old English girl with lots of imagination and is fond of showing off her knowledge. Alice is polite, well raised and interested in others, although she sometimes makes the wrong remarks and upsets the creatures in Wonderland. She is easily put off by abruptness and rudeness of others.
The Cheshire Cat is the cat of the Duchess. Alice meets it when she leaves the Duchess house, and finds it in a tree. It constantly grins and can disappear and reappear whenever it likes. Sometimes it disappears and leaves its grin behind. The Cheshire Cat is the only character in Wonderland who actually listens to Alice. With his remarks, he teaches Alice the ‘rules’ of Wonderland. He gives her insight in how things work down there.
The Mad Hatter is one of the members of the Mad Tea Party. Later he also appears as a witness during the trial. He occasionally is very rude and provokes Alice during the tea party. When he is called upon by the Queen, he is very nervous and frightened.
The Queen of Hearts is one of the playing card characters Alice meets when she is finally able to enter the beautiful garden through the door in the hallway. The Queen of Hearts rules over Wonderland and is a tyrant - violent, authoritative and dominant. She likes to play croquet with live flamingoes and hedgehogs as mallets and balls (but only when she wins, and by her own rules) and constantly orders the beheading of people when something isn't to her liking (although these orders apparently never are actually carried out). She also has her own ideas about how trials should be conducted, and is feared by all other Wonderland inhabitants because of her lack of patience and explosive character.
The White Rabbit is the first Wonderland character Alice encounters. She follows him when he hurries into his hole and thereby enters Wonderland. He appears to be late for his job with the Duchess. While walking through Wonderland, Alice comes upon his house where the White Rabbit, still in a hurry, mistakes her for his housemaid Mary Ann, and orders her to get his gloves and a fan. When she grows and gets stuck in the house, the Rabbit orders Pat to get her out. In the end we discover that the White Rabbit is a herald in the Queen of Heart's court. The White Rabbit is nervous and always in a hurry. However, he is confident enough about himself to contradict the King of Hearts. Because Alice follows him, he gets things moving again whenever he appears during the story. In a way, he is some kind of a guide through Wonderland for her, only unintentionally.
Mouse - this is one of the creatures that fell into the pool of Alice’s tears. He tries to dry the others by telling them the driest story he knows.
Frog-Footman - he serves at the house of the Duchess.
Fish-Footman - he brings an invitation from the Queen to the Duchess’ house.
Duchess - she is very ugly and mistreats her baby. She is also fond of finding morals in things. She tries to be in everyone's good books (especially the Queen's one) by acting very complimentary.
Cook - she makes soup with too much pepper and throws things at the Duchess, the baby and Alice. Later she is a witness in the trial.
March Hare- he is holding a tea party with the Hatter and the Dormouse. The party will continue forever, as they live in a frozen time. Later on, the March Hare is a witness during the trial.
Dormouse - another member of the tea party and witness. He constantly falls asleep and is mistreated by the Hare and the Hatter.
Knave of Hearts - he carries the crown and is later accused of stealing tarts.
King of Hearts - The Queen of Hearts’ incompetent husband. She completely dominates him. The King doesn’t have much notion of how a trial works, but is rather stubborn.
Gryphon - he takes Alice to the Mock Turtle. With him he explains the Lobster Quadrille to Alice.
Mock Turtle - he seems to be very sad and constantly sobs. He tells Alice about his schooldays.
Two Playing Cards, Alice will be cast with a teenager – the other roles will be cast with adults (18+)
