Alice in wonderland

Lewis Carroll (1832–1898), whose real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was an English author, mathematician, logician, and photographer, best known for his beloved fantasy classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass (1871). His imaginative storytelling, playful use of language, and whimsical characters have made his works enduring treasures of children's literature. Alice Gerstenberg (1885–1972) was an American playwright and dramatist renowned for her contributions to modern theatre. She is particularly remembered for adapting literary works for the stage and for her plays exploring human relationships and social conventions. Her theatrical adaptation of Alice in Wonderland brought Carroll’s fantastical world to the stage, introducing its memorable characters and imaginative situations to theatre audiences. Together, Carroll’s original literary vision and Gerstenberg’s dramatic interpretation have helped preserve the enduring appeal of Alice’s extraordinary adventures.
