Story time! Gather round children!
Last year, yaoi333 and I had Theatre 2 together, that's where we met, one of our later projects was to create a modern day children's story in groups of three and trade scripts with another group. yaoi333 and I, however, were the sole group of two, so we got permission to write our own. One of the class favorites was Red Riding Hood (Little Red in the Hood) and most of the others were based on other well known stories. After a while, yaoi333 and I decided to do Alice in Wonderland... and it only took me about a week to figure out how.
You see, there are many main charecters to Alice in Wonderland,
White Rabbit
Doorknob
Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum
Flowers
Catapiller
Cheshire Cat
Mad Hatter
Queen of Hearts
Alice
We had Alice and another charecter for every scene, yaoi333 was Alice, so, consequently, I was everyone else. Our modernday spin, was to make it Alice in Wonderland Asylum. Each main charecter other than Alice had a mental disorder. The list is in the same order as the last one.
Klepto-maniac
No disorder, he's the doctor
multiple personality
depression
delusional (he thinks it's the 60's)
Nurse
germaphobe
bi-polar
and Alice was goth
So for each charecter, I had a different outfit, mostly it was throwing a jacket or sweater over the last costume and trading out hats and wigs. yaoi333 and I wrote it so that I had about 20 seconds per scene to run around backstage and change as I went. The whole thing was supposed to take about 10 minutes tops, but yaoi333 lost her cell with our required musical... thing... and it ended up being about 20 minutes long.
The first scene was the white rabbit scene, yaoi333 crossed the stage, stopped to tie her boots and I snuck up on her and stole her purse as the white rabbit, kleptomaniac extrodinaire! Hence why she was following the rabbit in the first place. We had me in a Happy Bunny T-shirt, so where ever she went, she'd ask if they'd seen anyone in a T-shirt with a white rabbit on it, by the end she was just asking for the white rabbit.
The second scene was the docter as the doorknob, not letting her in the asylum she followed me to. After a while, she got in. Next were tweedle dee and tweedle dum, multiple personality. Then, the flowers who was a depressed widow, haha, I got to hit yaoi333 with a Bouquet! Then she met the catapiller, the dillusional guy who thought it was still the sixtey's, I wanted insence! Then, she met the secratary, Cheshy, who gave her information along the lines of "He went that way."*points left* yaoi333 crosses stage and just before she leaves, "But then he went that way." *points right* So yaoi333 asks me, "Well, which one?" and I say, "I'm not sure, I think he's with the queen..." "and where's she?" "I don't know." So Alice leaves and meets the germaphobe mad hatter, he also has heavy metal poisoning from the hats, just like real life. After that, it's on to the queen, bi-polar, I throw cards at her *bows* w00t. Then it's finally back to the white rabbit for a chase scene to Timewarp, we circle the stage, I'm in each costume, and then I'm back in my white rabbit get-up, Alice chases me swinging a mace and I blocked with a lobster... yeah... But then we turn around and say the doctors are coming and we both run, because they think she's crazy too.
We had signs for the whole thing, but it was still confusing. Well, we tried... This was a pretty basic over view, if you want the whole thing, too bad, because we forgot the tape to record it on that day. And I haven't even mentioned the basket...
So, yeah, the white rabbit was a kleptomaniac, so now I'm klepto-rabbit...
