Plot
On the Golden Afternoon, Charles Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) tells his child muse, Alice, her favorite story for the last time. Your Alice is a theatrical Victorian psychedelia that explores the complex and dynamic friendship between Mr. Dodgson and his ‘dreamchild’ muse Miss Alice Liddell, the inspiration behind Alice in Wonderland. As they sail down the Oxford river, his beloved characters weave us in and out of Wonderland and through his tortured relationship with 10-year-old Miss Liddell.
Reviews
"Aken-Tyers direction glides us between the real and the Wonderland worlds thanks to some truly impressive devised movement, which provides the energetic pulse through Alice and Charles’ journey and creates a giddy, carnival-esque atmosphere."- New York Theatre Review (Your Alice)
"Visually it is gorgeous, a theatrical Victorian psychedelia.and the movement work choreographed by Aken-Tyers is fascinating to watch." -Popdust
