Peter And Alice
When Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932, the original Alice in Wonderland came face to face with the original Peter Pan. In this remarkable play, enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bare the lives of these two extraordinary characters, exploring how they were both affected by World War One.
Following the Lindberg kidnapping piece Hauptmann in 2014 and his one-woman show I’ll Eat You Last in 2016, this production marks Candid Theater’s third regional/State premiere of a work by John Logan, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter and Tony Award-winning playwright. Logan is best known for his 6-time Tony Award-winning play Red, and also as the Academy Award winning screenwriter who wrote Skyfall, The Aviator, Hugo, and Gladiator. Directed by Justin Kirkeberg
REVIEWS
LAVENDER Magazine-John Townsend-2/28/18
"A work of Theatrical Genius...Candid Theatre’s beguiling and deeply moving regional premiere of the Olivier nominee at Fallout Arts Initiative rises to the occasion with memorable performances that border on sublimity and linger in the mind long after the curtain call...The vivid supporting cast is superb as they appear as phantoms from Alice and Peter’s past...Logan’s heavyweight themes are brilliantly rendered with expert variation, pace, and timing by all, so that the show moves briskly along."

"Reality, memories, and imagination all mix together to tell a moving story of the joy and pain of growing up in Candid Theatre Company's wonderful and intimate production of PETER AND ALICE...It's a captivating, thought-provoking, sobering 90 minutes...Peter and Alice is a fascinating exploration of two characters we think we know, and the contrast between the stories of our childhood and the harsh reality of adulthood. I was completely charmed, and saddened, by this production."
