Lewis in Carrolland

Comedic drama about Charles Dodsgon – better know as Lewis Carroll – his life and loves. 3m, 2f with recorded voices and puppets. 80 minute running time.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known to the whole world as Lewis Carroll, author of what are perhaps the best loved children’s books of all time: Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. But few people really know much about the man himself, his family, his loves, his interests… who he really was

Lewis in Carrolland explores the story of his life, the highs and the lows, and the people he knew and loved. For a cast of three men and two woman (with doubling) and recorded child voices, the play also uses puppets to create a theatrical experience as entertaining and inventive as would befit Lewis Carroll.
