HollywoodChicago.com theatre review: 'Lookingglass Alice' at Chicago's Lookingglass Theatre

Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on July 16, 2008 - 1:43pm.

HollywoodChicago.com theater critic Alissa Norby wrote in her 3.5 out of 5.0 review of the new Chicago play “Lookingglass Alice” at the Lookingglass Theatre:

Alissa Norby wrote:In “Lookingglass Alice,” director David Caitlin doesn’t fear showing his audience an Alice they could barely have dreamt of before (let alone seen before). A hybrid of both “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There,” the play uses both the card-deck symbolism of the former and the chess board structure of the latter to tell its story.
