First conceived at The National Puppetry Conference with Flock Theater in June 2000, "Curiouser & Curiouser" is based on the true story of Alice Liddell and Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), the mathmetician, writer, photographer. Using diary entries, Carroll's writing, and original text, this piece breathes new life into the stories surrounding this most complex literary relationship.
