Third Rail Projects' critically acclaimed production of THEN SHE FELL will celebrate its 3-year anniversary on October 6 -- which also marks its 1,704th performance. This immersive theater event is inspired by the life and writings of Lewis Carroll (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland). It is written, directed, designed and choreographed by Zach Morris, Tom Pearson and Jennine Willett in collaboration with The Company. Performances take place at The Kingsland Ward at St. Johns, a century-old institutional building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that allows the action to play out on 3 floors. Tickets are now on sale through December 30, 2015.
THEN SHE FELL is a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience in which only 15 audience members at a time explore a dreamlike world where every alcove, corner, and corridor has been transformed into lushly designed performance space. Inspired by the life and writings of
Lewis Carroll, it offers an 'Alice-like' experience for audience members as they explore the rooms, often by themselves, in order to discover hidden scenes; encounter performers one-on-one; unearth clues that illuminate a shrouded history; use skeleton keys to gain access to guarded secrets; and imbibe elixirs custom-designed by one of NYC's foremost mixologists.
THEN SHE FELL evokes the inner, psychological landscapes of
Lewis Carroll, Alice Liddell, and iconic characters from Carroll's texts. Every aspect of each audience member's experience has been meticulously designed, from lush environments to the smells, tastes, and objects, that they discover as they explore and unravel a narrative that balances dream, reality, fact, and fiction.
