took me a while (since march) to get these done but its some of my favourite work – alice in wonderland @ pentameters theatre; hypercolourful fantastical play/installation.
home/performance – alice old
I met Alice as a neighbor, and soon my life was centered around our houses and Hampstead village. She was quite young at the time and – even more so than now lost in a fantasy world, in and out of touch with reality and obsessed with dreams.
Alice isn’t a born performer, she played Alice in Wonderland at age 5 on the same stage as this (her mother Leonie owns the theatre) this production is a reprisal of 15 year old part. The character is perfectly suited to her, more than sharing the same name – Alice (in wonderland) is lost in a dreamlike world, an allegory for the real Alice’s life.
Her home is a quiet residential enclave far up into North London where she lives with friends and the landlord, its a contrast to the elegant squalor of her previous flat in Hampstead which she shared messily with a posse of teenage girls. The domesticity of the place has a calming influence on her creativity and it feels like she doesn’t quite fit in.
getting undone
during the run of alice in wonderland i out to the macbeth in hoxton wearing my character make up. drunk women told me that i looked like a racoon. racoons have lots of fun with cobwebs. so does everyone else really
i do wonder
im in a play! not so much of an actor, but i guess i am a little unhinged. So the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland suits me just fine. Heres some headshots for promotion…
