Alice (Status Update) *Away-(Message) In Wonderland
Alice In Wonderland has been rewriiten so many times and parodied and updated you think people would stop. They don't. This versions seems fun though, Alice gets lost in the web this time in a local play called Status Update. Come on, Keyboard Cat plays the part of Cheshire Cat.
Synopsis from site:
Annabel’s home office has just been invaded. Her boyfriend, who dragged her from Boston to Arizona for his job, is throwing her a birthday dinner party. Only there’s no dinner and just two guests: a Serbian femme fatale who's blatantly after Annabel's man, and her creepy boyfriend who just keeps shrugging.Annabel’s got places to go, people to see, and 534 friends – on Facebook. Lured by her sadistically musical pal Keyboard Cat, Annabel escapes the party and falls headfirst into the internet. Literally. Suddenly confronted with her mother (who sends links!), an old boyfriend who's newly hot, and political causes that need her signature ASAP, she’s Alice in an online Wonderland. Will she get to re-connect virtually with her East Coast life and the promise it held, or will she disappear from the real world altogether? And would that be so bad
