Alice by Heart written by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik, co-written by Jessie Nelson
In the rubble of the London Blitz of WWII, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down. She and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station. When the ailing Alfred is quarantined, Alice encourages him to escape with her into their cherished book and journey down the rabbit hole to Wonderland.
As they travel through the tale, Alice by Heart explores the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward.
