Alice in Funderland; A Magical Trip to the Abbey

Alice (Sarah Greene), a young woman from Cork, is fighting with her parents and sister, who's about to get married. On the hen night, Alice finds herself in the chaotic dreamworld that is Dublin nightlife: enthralling and threatening in equal measure. Instead of chasing the White Rabbit down a hole, she snogs a guy and chases him back to the fictional northside suburb of Hartstown.
Director Wayne Jordan and choreographer Liz Roche generally ensure the action stays tightly focused.
Musical versions of Lewis Carroll's novel aren't new. The first appeared in 1886; Tom Waits recorded his album version in 2002; an Alice ballet is running in London right now. But it's hard to imagine that any other interpretation smashed so many social taboos and indulged in such joyous vulgarity.
