From playwright Craig Lucas (The Light in the Piazza) comes this darkly comic tale of a modern-day Alice in a perilous winter wonderland. When Rachel jumps out of a window on Christmas Eve, she embarks on a series of outrageous and harrowing adventures that test her belief that it is indeed a wonderful life. Norton Award-winner Scott Edmiston (The History Boys, The Light in the Piazza) directs an all-star Boston cast featuring Barlow Adamson, Marianna Bassham, Larry Coen, Kerry A. Dowling, Sandra Heffley, Will McGarrahan, Karl Baker Olson, and Paula Plum. NOTE: Paula Plum will be leaving Reckless after the Sunday 12/6 3pm matinee. Maureen Keiller will step in to perform her roles for the final week of the run, from Tuesday 12/8 thru Saturday 12/12.

Please note: a strobe effect will be used during this performance.

Approximate Running Time: 100 minutes without an intermission.
