So now that I have that worked out let's move on, shall we? I feel like, and I know I should be, coming at the play from a different perspective. It's had two productions, the first of which I co-directed, which were Youth Infringement 2002 and Canterbury Arts Fest 2003. Gone through a succession of drafts, I've lost track, but at it's very core has never changed. Even when I essentially rewrote it once with the help of my lovely and talented writer mentor Lesley Buxton, going into auditions for Youth Infringment, it still had its centre and I believe soul, Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson and their relationship.
I have in mind all these incredible images and pictures of how I want it to be, how I want to use the backyard, the play itself in this environmental space.
Themes:
- escape
- dreams
- wonder
- stories
- love (different forms, focus on father/daughter)
- family
- exposure (especially camera sense)
- topsy-turvy
- loss
- growing up
