Where's Alice

Bev Clark | Young Cast | Comedy | Full-Length | 11m, 10f, 11m/f

Short synopsis

Alice has left Wonderland and the softened Queen of Hearts sends a search party led by her son Jack to find her and arrange a marriage. Their journey takes them through corrupted Diamond and joyful Club palaces, where each character finds love, purpose, or success. This lively, fast-paced play offers a large cast lots of opportunities for “doubling” or adding a big musical ensemble. A witty and colourful 'not-so traditional panto' style.

This full length comedy 'panto-style' play allows for the inclusion of songs, dances sequences and music with plenty of fun in another twist to the wonderland story.

Alice has left wonderland and the Queen of Hearts, who has mellowed somewhat, is missing her. She summons a search party, so that Alice can be found and marry her son Jack.

He sets off with his friend the Ace of Hearts, The Duchess, Hatter, Cat and their servant the Two of Hearts.  Their journey takes them to the Palace of Diamonds, where the Queen has sold her Diamond mine to the wicked Ace of Spades. His palace is awash with corruption, along with some heavy metal music.

They finally end up at the Palace of the jovial King of Clubs, where Duchess finds herself a husband. The Two of Hearts, who is really a clever practical girl, finds her true love. Ace finds a job and saves the day. Cat finds a soul-mate; Hatter finds new customers and Jack finds his Alice… but will their Happy-Ever-After be UP or DOWN the rabbit hole?

This is not a traditional “panto” but the fast-moving, colourful and witty script offers a large cast lots of opportunities for “doubling” or adding a big musical ensemble.

More information

This is written as a full-length comedy panto “style”
production for songs and dance sections to be added. Please note any published songs must have normal permissions/licences. (PRS). It can be for children or a
mixed-age cast. It could also be a shorter play with no songs just incidental music. Most characters are flexible in gender and age and multiple doubling can
take place or a large ensemble can each take a cameo role. The most important thing is it is colourful, fast moving and fun. For those who love all things ‘Wonderland’ this is just another take on the well-loved story, where we see Jack grow from a boy to a man.

Frequently asked questions

Can we try before we buy?

Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.

All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material  which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.

Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.

Do we need a Licence To Perform?

The simple answer is, yes.

Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.

Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?

When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
