Alice in Wonderland Treatment.

Alice in Wonderland.

The sun is shining, the air is still, the scent of roses and wild flowers fills the air. The sound of instrumental music and peoples applause fills the room, a room of which hundreds of family, guests and friends are dancing around, ladies are in cocktail dresses and the gentlemen are in suits. Alice stands in front of the man she is betrothed to marry. A man that she adores but cannot picture her life with. A tall, smart man dressed in a blue suit with a crooked bow tie and a cheesy grin holds on to Alice's hands as the room is filled with complete silence. Alice is asked to marry Hamish, a question which all girls dream up and fantasise about in their spare time. Shocked and astounded by Hamish's proposition, Alice says she needs to get some air and goes for a walk.

Upon walking through the morning dewey grass filled with rose bushes and the sound of crickets, Alice spots a white rabbit in a blue waist coat, the rabbit stops and stares at Alice and points to his ticking pocket watch. Alice, who now stands completely startled and thinks she is going crazy, chases the rabbit. Alice loses sight of the rabbit for a split second and stumbles into the woods. She then spots the rabbit jumping and laughing and hopping through the woods. Upon finding the rabbit, Alice chases it again and once again loses him. Alice is surrounded by trees and can see nothing but darkness ahead with the nettle bushes cutting her stockings she then finds herself in front of a large black hole. Alice knows this is too big of a hole to be any kind of mole hole. Intrigued by what she has found she tries to look deep within it, Alice lose her grip and stumbles in, descending into madness.

Alice awakens, (or so she hopes) from her dream, and finds herself surrounded by four walls, a roof and a small table. On the table she notices a piece of cake which inscribed says 'Eat Me'. She also notices a small bottle which contains a strange coloured liquid, attached to the bottles is a piece of paper in which says 'drink me'. Alice once again for a split second notices the rabbit which runs through a tiny door, far too small for Alice to pass through. Alice who is in hope of somehow being able to pass through the door, tries to open it but the door is locked. She decides to eat the slice of cake with which after eating she becomes extremely tall, even more tall to fit through the tiny door which appears before her. Alice then drinks the strange, oddly coloured bottled liquid and she shrinks to the size of a small animal. Alice realises that the door is still locked, she looks around confused and a small key appears before her, she takes the key, places it in the key hole and passes through.

Instantly Alice is surrounded by wild flowers, floating tea pots and tea cups, brightly coloured fields and the smell of candy in the air. Two small oddly shaped men who look exactly the same walk up to Alice, they seem to be recounting the tale of "The Walrus & The Carpenter:" and of course, there is the rabbit in the waist coat who is the reason Alice has ended up here in this place, this strange magical place called Wonderland.
