Alice in Kafkaland

In the contemporary version, or rather perversion, of British whimsy, Alice goes slumming in Kafkaland. The dear little girl has grown insufferably sophisticated, oozes Existentialism at breakfast, outsmarts the New Yorker at cocktail hour and collapses from ennui at curtain time. Judging by what Broadway is importing this year from London, naughty little Alice deserves a spanking.
