Mad as a Hatter

Theophilus Carter is content with his small tailor’s shop on High Street, thank you very much. But when his best friend publishes a nonsense book called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and uses him as the inspiration for The Mad Hatter, his sensible shop becomes a mad house of uppity Londoners trying to get a peek at the real Mad Hatter. As Theo struggles to maintain his simple life, and Lewis Carroll roars to success as one of England’s greatest authors, it’s bound time for a puckish young woman named Alice to find her way back into the Hatter’s life. As a real world look into the lives that made Wonderland, MAD AS A HATTER explores the burden of nostalgia, the whimsy of madness, and the undeniable power of play.
