ALICE IN WONDERLAND

El grupo de teatro 'No Laughing Matter' presenta este año su quinta obra puesta en escena. Este año nos hemos superado en número. Somos ya 18 actores amateur con muchas ganas de pasarlo bien, aprender y disfrutar haciendo teatro. El tiempo de que hemos dispuesto para preparar esta obra tan complicada ha sido escaso pero las ganas no han faltado y esperamos que todo salga como esperamos.
Este año por problemas de ubicación y horarios hemos ensayado en un aula de la Escuela y ha resultado ser una tarea difícil. Pero tenemos que agradecer al Equipo Directivo del Instituto Celia Viñas su apoyo a la hora de poder representarlo en el salón de actos de este instituto.
La obra que hemos elegido para este año está considerada como uno de los máximos exponentes de la literatura universal tanto infantil como para adultos. En esta obra aparecen algunos de los personajes más famosos de Carroll, como el Conejo Blanco, el Sombrerero Loco, el Gato de Cheshire, Los gemelos Tweedle Dee y Dum, La Oruga o la Reina de Corazones, quienes han cobrado importancia suficiente para ser reconocidos fuera del mundo de Alicia.

INTRODUCTION

FAMOUS LINES AND EXPRESSIONS

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a work of literary nonsense written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, considered a classic example of the genre and of English literature in general. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantastic realm populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.
The book is commonly referred to by the abbreviated title Alice in Wonderland, an alternative title popularized by the numerous stage, film and television adaptations of the story produced over the years. Alice was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike. Among its first avid readers were young Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. The book has never been out of print. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into 125 languages, including Esperanto and Faroese. There have now been over a hundred editions of the book, as well as countless adaptations in other media, especially theatre and film.
The term "Wonderland", from the title, has entered the language and refers to a marvellous imaginary place, or else a real-world place that one perceives to have dreamlike qualities.
"Down the Rabbit-Hole", the Chapter 1 title, has become a popular term for going on an adventure into the unknown. In computer gaming, a "rabbit hole" may refer to the initiating element that drives the player to enter the game.
Arguably, the most famous quote is used when the Queen of Hearts screams "Off with her head!" at Alice (and everyone else she feels slightly annoyed with). Possibly Carroll here was echoing a scene in Shakespeare's Richard III where Richard demands the execution of Lord Hastings, crying "Off with his head!"
Three cards are painting the roses on a rose tree red, for they accidentally planted a white-rose tree which the Queen of Hearts hates. Red roses symbolized the English House of Lancaster, while white roses were the symbol for their rival House of York. Therefore, this scene contains a hidden allusion to the War of the Roses.
