The Westminster Alice

A sequence of parodic vignettes recasts familiar fantastical characters into contemporary political settings, using nonsense verse and ironic dialogue to lampoon parliamentary maneuvers, party rivalry, the press, and ceremonial pretence. Each short piece adapts an episode of Carrollian fantasy to satirize official rhetoric, public ceremonies, and the muddled logic of political life, shifting between surreal conversations, mock poetry, and pointed absurdities. The tone mixes whimsical wordplay with caustic wit, turning dreamlike scenes into targets for political comedy while preserving the narrative playfulness of the original fairy-tale templates.
