FARCE. At the Wonderland “courthouse” everyone is assembling for the Mad Hatter’s trial. The Cheshire Cat is the prosecutor, Alice and the Caterpillar are witnesses, and the White Rabbit is supposed to be the court reporter but is too busy writing sad poems. When the Hare arrives with the Mad Hatter’s briefcase containing his defense, the Mad Hatter discovers the Hare has replaced the contents with chocolate bars. But it doesn’t matter since no one knows why the Mad Hatter is on trial anyway, and Alice is hauled away for committing the number-one crime in show business: She was boring!
