H.J. Ramsay’s “Ever Alice” is an enthralling and incredibly clever spin on Lewis Carroll’s classic “Alice in Wonderland.” 15-year-old Alice is in trouble. She’s been spinning stories about a world no one else can see, and now she’s landed in an asylum – but she doesn’t belong there. Not really. Alice is not crazy. In order to gain her freedom and go home, however, she is given the option to undergo a new, experimental procedure. Feeling like she has no option but to agree, she travels with her doctor and nurse to a Switzerland asylum, but once she’s forcefully strapped to a metal table, she realizes she’s made a big mistake. When the White Rabbit comes to save her at the last minute, she has to make another choice: stay and risk the doctors or escape to Wonderland and kill the Queen of Hearts. Once in Wonderland, Alice is faced with going undercover as one of the Queen’s ladies’ maids. As she tries to get used to the strange daily goings-on in Gardenia City, she’ll meet a handsome prince, thwart unforeseen enemies, and have to gather all her courage in order to complete the mission she was tasked with. When all is over, however, will Alice truly be able to go home? Or will Wonderland decide to keep her as its own?
