"I'm Mad, You're Mad, We're All Mad Here"
While randomly surfing the internet, I chanced upon a feature of this play showing at Greenbelt 1. This is actually one of my (even moreso my sister) all-time favorite classic. In fact, a couple of Sundays back, I bought a hardbound copy from Bestsellers, but figuring that it was the Disney version, I gave it to my sister as a belated birthday present.
Anyway, as luck would have it, there was an early showing the next day, but to my dismay, my overdue credit card was rejected. My sister and I had to wake up early hoping for available tickets at the theater. We got in with the best seats at a very affordable price. Most of the audience were little kids from different schools in Metro Manila (hmmmm, that's probably why it was a morning show!), but we didn't mind being the only two adults with no kid in tow! It just felt good to be be a kid again even if it was only for a day :-)
The props were beautiful and very colorful as AIW should be with a one-of-a-kind origami-inspired concept. And the cast was amazing! Alice played by Becca Coates and the Red Queen played by Bituin Escalante were stand-outs for me. But my favorite was the Duchess who was a scene stealer.
All in all, I love it!
