Alice in Wonderland Plot Summary
What happens in Alice in Wonderland from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Alice is unwillingly enlisted to rehearse the garden party’s performance of the song “Cherry Ripe,” but the tension in the room, the expectant audience, and the fear of slipping on stage push her to a breaking point. Hovering over her is the pressure from a strict governess, played with a keen eye for authority by the cast, and the moment she feels overwhelmed, she bolts from the house. A dull afternoon turns into a moment of wonder as shadows grow and clouds roll in, and an apple detaches from a tree and seems to hover right in front of her face. It’s then that White Rabbit appears in a flurry, flashing a sense of urgency that pulls her along a twisting tunnel and straight into Wonderland.
