Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland are two of the most iconic characters in children's literature. Both were inspired by real people,
Peter Llewelyn Davis and
Alice Liddell, who were children befriended by the authors
J.M. Barrie and
Lewis Carroll. One would think they'd have a lot in common, and a lot to talk about, both living their lives under the shadow of this iconic image of childhood. History tells us they actually did meet, and playwright John Logan imagines what their conversation was like in the play
Peter and Alice. Reality, memories, and imagination all mix together to tell a moving story of the joy and pain of growing up. Candid Theatre Company's wonderful and intimate production of
Peter and Alice is playing at Fallout Arts Initiative in South Minneapolis through March 4.
