Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I need ideas for a school play and I liked Alice in Wonderland.

I directed a production of "Alice in America-Land or Through the Picture Tube and What Alice Found There" by Dennis Snee and it is a great show that is not often produced. If you like the Alice story you should definitely check this one out.

Here is a description of it:

In this fresh and lively update of Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice takes a journey through the picture tube of her family’s television, and meets a mad collection of characters - with a certain difference!

A White Rabbit who lives in fear of someone’s dropping The Big One

A Mock Turtle who’s a champion of consumer rights

A Dodo who’s a guitarist, a Dormouse seeking political office and an Eagle who lives in the past

The Duke and Duchess have switched life roles - she’s a "working duchess" while he’s a "house duke"

Alice herself becomes the unwitting subject for a showbiz roast with two aging, bitter comedians - the Mad Hatter and the March Hare

Through it all, Alice just wants to return home to her beloved cat

A fanciful, biting, always funny tale of a contemporary Alice that will delight all audiences.

yeah its malice in horrorland its good

There was a video game from American McGee called Alice that is now being made into a movie. It's pretty dark. Return to Wonderland was also pretty creepy.

Do a search for The Cheshire. It's a wonderful short story, about Alice OUT of Wonderland. And it is a bit darker.

Alice Through the Looking Glass

I definitely know that Tim Burton is currently producing a new "Alice in Wonderland" film using both animation and live action. Odds are that it'll be a little bit darker than the original.
