mad hatters tea party research:
the mad hatters tea party is by Zoonation and by The Kate Prince Company. It's about celebrating what makes you uniquely different and you. 
In this adaptation, we see a psychiatric doctor, Ernest, who's new patients are the most damaged characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice's adventures in wonderland. He specializes in normalisation but the "wonderland ward" might just test his ability. during his time with these colourful characters he begins to realise that what is categorically normal isn't all its cracked up to be. We have in this, the characters who were present at the mad hatters tea party. these are;
Alice suffers from Hallucinations and Personality Disorders as well as an eating disorder and body dysmorphia.
The White Rabbit has General Anxiety and and OCD with his compulsions causing him to run late.
Tweedledum and Tweedldee have ADHD
The Dormouse is extremely tired and constantly on the verge of falling asleep. He specifically notes the difference between “I breathe when I sleep” and “I sleep when I breathe”  Difficulty breathing whilst sleeping is an known disorder referred to as sleep apnea, in which one does not maintain a regular breathing pattern while asleep, thus interrupting the normal sleep schedule.
The Mad Hatter has a form of mercury poisoning. He could also have PTSD which is why he diminishes to the state he has and BPD as it is marked by “a pattern of ongoing instability in moods, behaviour, self-image, and functioning"
March Hare .......
The queen of hearts is affected by egotism and narcissism. if anyone disagrees with her, insults her, or makes her unhappy in any way, she orders to have them beheaded without a second thought. The Queen displays many traits of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), which is marked by “an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention
the shows design goes very well with the source of the adaptation. it is vibrant and colourful. the bright contrasting colours of yellow orange and green mostly seem to clash magically in away that demands attention from an onlooking audience. The lighting is bright and psychedelic, which is very fitting for the scope of things wonderland contains. The soundtrack 
The original author of Alice's adventures in wonderland is Lewis Carroll who wrote short stories of this magic filled universe he created as well as poetry that was a part of that world too. Carroll suffered from chronic migraines, and epilepsy, stammering, partial deafness, and ADHD and this gave him an insight into the issues he provided his characters with. His inspiration for the story was a 10 year old child called Alice who was the daughter of a friend of the author. She had voiced how much she had adored the world he had created and asked him to write it down for her. While there really is no evidence that Carroll ever used hallucinogenic drugs people do find it hard to believe someone could dream up such a place without the "aid" of such things. Carroll's diaries, which are on display at the exhibit, make no mention of drugs. We know that he occasionally enjoyed a glass of alcohol and may have taken opiate-infused drug Laudanum (which was available to anyone in the 1860s) but aside from this there is no mention of drugs and Alice's world.
