Believe it or not, there is an Yiddish proverb which goes like this: "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul". Laughter is an audible expression of happiness, or an inward feeling of joy. It may ensue from hearing a joke, being tickled, or other stimuli. It is in most cases a very pleasant sensation, unless of course some of your hobbies include sadomasochistic activities or the like.
Since you do not derive pleasure from experiencing excruciating self-inflicted pain, I shall only assume that you'll enjoy ACSian Theatre's latest comic production.
ACSian Theatre presents Lewis Caroll's masterpiece of imagination 'Alice in Wonderland'. Experience Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adapted into a theatrical performance with stunning costumes, captivating dramatisation and dance sequences.
Follow us on a magical adventure down the rabbit hole into a new world of mystique, enchantment and absolute fascination. Join the eponymous Alice as she is dragged into the fantastical realms of Wonderland, and attempts to find her bearings with the help of its eccentric natives. From the Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat, get tangled in a tale of believing of what you see, while fighting against the dazzlingly villainous Queen of Hearts as well as the Red and White chess Queens.
A production that is boldly exciting and which will entrall all who are young at heart.
