I totally love the Manhattan Theatre Project's version. It was devised in the 1970s under the guidance of Andre Gregory (My Dinner with Andre fame). At the time, it spoke to the anti war and civil rights aspects going on in the world (but not overtly); since being in it myself in high school, I have directed it twice (and may again) both long form and a one act version. It affords cross gender/racial casting and really allows for creativity in terms of input from the actors playing the roles (eg one year my Madhatter was a brilliant pianist, as was my March Hare, so I had the tea party table become a grand piano and they played music during the scene).

Not 100%, but strongly considering Alice in Wonderland (or something similar) for our 2017 fall play. What adaptations/versions would you suggest?
