Hello all. If you haven't guessed already, this is my little retelling of Alice in Wonderland with a Wordgirl twist. I plan of taking bits and pieces from the animated Disney movie as well as the actual book, just so you know. I've had this idea in my head for a while now, so I figured I'd finally work on it.
Disclaimer: I do not own Wordgirl nor Alice in Wonderland. Wordgirl belongs to Soup2Nuts while Alice belongs to Lewis Carrol
The audience members were quickly ushered into their seats as the theater darkened.
The show was about to begin.
As the spotlight fiddled around, finding it's positioned place, a few harsh whispers could be heard to silence any last minute conversations. Finally, the curtains rose and a few awkward claps came as a well-dressed man, whose head wasn't visible on screen, walked up to the microphone.
Hello ladies and gentlemen! The man announced. On behalf of the entire cast, I would like to welcome you all to this special treat tonight. I am the Narrator and I'm here to move the story along. Without me, it would pretty much sit there and not make any sense.
That being said, this week's episode is very special for two reasons. One; I am actually partially visible for a brief moment. Two; in our effort to enlighten public mind of true literary classics, the cast has spent tireless hours working to present the following episode based on the timeless story of Alice in Wonderland.
We also have a special guest that will be joining us tonight. I'm sure we all know Todd 'Scoops' Ming.
At the mention of his name, Scoops emerged from behind the curtains and waved cheerfully to the audience. "Hello all! Normally, I'm on the prowl for informative tidbits to share with you, but this week's been slow, so I've decided to try my hand at theatrical reviews!"
Though, quite honestly, he's here because we couldn't find a good role for him to play, The Narrator mumbled as the boy made his way to his seat. So, without further ado, please join Scoops and I as we sit back and witness the first, and possibly last viewing of Becky in Blunderland!
The audience courteously applauded.
And as the screen faded to black, the Narrator's voice could still be heard. Oh, and while you watch, look for the words surreal and context.
