Considered the first real dramatization of the "Alice" stories, it was produced on Broadway to considerable critical attention and acclaim. All the familiar characters from both "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" appear in this timeless adaptation by this popular playwright. Lewis Carroll visits Alice one day for tea and thus starts Alice's fascinating adventures as she travels through the looking-glass and steps right into the nonsense stories. Along the way she meets the time obsessive White Rabbit, the mysterious Cheshire Cat, bumbling brothers Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter and his unconventional tea party guests, and the unpleasant Queen of Hearts along with the rest of Carroll's famous characters. Alice soon finds herself embroiled in the trial of the stolen tarts and must rescue herself from this strange land. Considered one of the finest adaptations of the stories, "Alice in Wonderland" continues to entertain and hold audiences captive with its unique style.

This book examines the impact of the daily life, political climate and artistic institutions of Vienna on its musicians and musical tastes between 1815 and 1830. Emphasis is given to Beethoven, Schubert, Paganini and Johann Strauss where their careers reflect typically Viennese musical life and when Viennese conventions may explain important turns in their lives. Attention is also paid to the incomes, service contracts and welfare of lesser-known musicians of the same period. An entire chapter is devoted to the regulation of music by the Austrian government, secret police and censors, since this period coincides with the height of Metternich's political power. Although the study is mainly intended for music historians and listeners, the book should also interest the Austrian, literary, theatre and political historian. Furthermore, the research presented here suggests that many of the intriguing questions and social issues in Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century, currently widely discussed by Schorske, Toulim and McGrath, are already present in Vienna in 1815.
