Winner of the Shubert Fendrich Memorial Playwriting Contest, Looking Glass Land is a stage adaptation by renowned playwright James DeVita that takes Lewis Carroll’s original Through the Looking Glass and literally runs with it. This wild adaptation highlights and improvises on the pure, unadulterated fun of the story. The play still retains some of Carroll’s deeper meanings, but what it possesses most of all is a huge helping of unabashed silliness! This delightful romp through Alice’s looking glass land retains all of the familiar characters — Alice, the Red Queen and King, the White Queen and King, the Flowers (Daisy, Tiger Lily, Violet, and Rose), Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, Humpty Dumpty, the Unicorn and the Lion, and the White and Red Knights — and introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a rap group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, star-struck tourists, plastic light saber wielding knights and much more. The Children’s Book and Play Review declares, “This is an excellent script... delightful, amusing and believable in a land that’s not.”
