The Mad Hatter's Tea Party
OVERVIEW
"What does it mean to sit between this world and that at the drop of a hat?"
The Hatter and the Hare are stuck. They can't move on. Trapped by self delusion and memory loss, they remain at 6 o'clock, forever drinking tea. The Hatter embraces it. The Hare rejects it. But who is to blame for this never-ending party?
Take a trip down the proverbial rabbit hole with Brother Wolf's groundbreaking adaptation of one of the most beloved stories of all time. Fantastical and utterly bonkers, "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party" is a mind-bending and absurdist new twist on Lewis Carroll's immortal classic.
So grab your seat at The Hatter's table and get ready for the weirdest and wildest party this side of Wonderland!
