Alice at the Palace

This "music hall" version of Lewis Carroll?s Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass was adapted for television from Elizabeth Swados? Joseph Papp/New York Shakespeare Festival production entitled Alice in Concert for which Swados also composed the score, adapted the book and directed for the stage. Starring Meryl Streep and featuring Debbie Allen and Betty Aberlin, "Alice At The Palace" is an entertaining and shrewdly conceived retelling of the Carroll classics with all of the beloved characters --from the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat to the Queen of Hearts-- given a unique twist by the witty and charming performances of an accomplished theatrical ensemble. "Alice At The Palace" was originally broadcast as part of NBC-TV?s "Project Peacock" series in 1982.
