It's getting good houses and some very satisfied responses. Not all the Carroll cognoscenti will approve of everything in the play - they're a frabjous crew, of course - but there's a lot of Carrollian technique which ought to prove of interest: an acoustic acrostic, parody (of Jabberwocky), tunes derived from nursery rhymes played backward and upside down, fragments of verse developed into a full-blown lyric, and so on. No Carrollian anywhere near Chicago an afford to miss it! I’m a co-author of the piece and am delighted to say that this production is superb.
