BWW Review: With THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS at the Triple Door, More is Just More
by Jay Irwin
- April 04, 2019
Lily Verlaine and Jasper McCann return to the Triple Door for their 11th season with their adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland", "Through the Looking Glass, The Burlesque Alice in Wonderland". And while "Wonderland" might seem a perfect setting for a Burlesque show, since the whole thing can be looked at as a giant drug trip, any adaptation should use more than just the characters and name as a backdrop. Unfortunately, that's not the case here as the evening is simply a series of numbers, strung together with the loosest of Wonderland threads holding it together, and so much thrown at the audience in order to obscure the downfalls of the show that it really only serves to spotlight the downfalls.

Central Works 2019 Season's first show Wonderland, a comedy by Gary Graves, launches the 4 play 29th season and has EXTENDED THROUGH March 24th (originally scheduled to close March 17). "We truly are through the rabbit hole, and the state of the nation is beyond parody… [Wonderland is] a playful mashup of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and Franz Kafka's "The Trial" set in Washington, DC." as described by Sam Hurwitt for the San Jose Mercury News. The comedy Wonderland takes place at a time when "The White House it depicts is so fundamentally broken, such a chaotic and paranoid confusion of backstabbing and intrigue, that even the most abominable scenarios aren't particularly surprising."

This adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland begins with the Cheshire Cat standing in front of the rabbit hole entrance into Wonderland. The Cat will soon be joined by the White Rabbit sliding down his hole into Wonderland, and Alice whose overwhelming curiosity entices her to follow the White Rabbit into this wonderfully upside down world of strange creatures, playing cards that speak, Queen of Hearts, Mad Hatters, Tweedletwins, cracked Eggs, tea parties, games of croquet, and riddles galore.
