Mushroom in Her Hands

The Milk Can Theatre Company is proud to present the world premiere of
Mushroom In Her Hands by Anne Phelan. This is “Alice in Wonderland” with all
the sex and violence you always knew was just below the surface of the
novel. Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym adopted by the Oxford don and
Anglican deacon Charles Lutwidge Dodgson who once famously said, “I am fond
of children (except boys).” Dodgson was friendly with many little girls,
often taking eerily adult photographs of them. In this new play, the
playwright takes episodes from the novel, and reinvents them as speculation
on what the relationship between Dodgson and the real Alice Liddell might
have been. Directed by Artistic Director Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, with
performances by Jessi Gotta, Daryl Lathon, Carolyn McDermott, and Reed
Prescott. With set design by Cully Long, lighting design by Kevin Hardy,
costume design by Marija Djordjevic, and original music by Nick Moore.

The Saturday, April 30 performance is at 3pm. There is no evening performance that night.
