"The atmosphere in director Dado's bold staging for Trap Door Theatre is febrile and fantastic....A smart and heartfelt portrait of the interior life of a highly intelligent and desperately thwarted woman..."

Chicago Tribune
"Dado and her cast give the evening a sense of surreal whimsy even as Nicole Wiesner makes Alice's depression and anguish disturbingly clear. Engaged, multilevel performances underscore the characters' passions yet preserve a deep sense of mystery..."
-Chicago Reader
"Highly theatrical and visual...Count on Trap Door to give us what no one else does..."

Alice in Bed ...
A dramatic fantasy which merges the life of Alice James, the brilliant sister of William and Henry James, with the heroine of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It is a play about the triumphs and limitations of imagination and escape.
