Our motley crew are gathered on deck after the Sons of Liberty have made their powerful protest. As the harbour waters infuse with 40 tonnes of East India Company tea, the Mad Hatter, Dormouse, March Hare and Alice reflect on last night’s events over a refreshing brew of their own. But even by their own maddening standards, these characters are not quite who they seem to be…

 

Alice in Wonderland Storie

250 years ago a fierce dispute about British taxation led a group of colonists to take action, pouring 342 chests of East India Company tea into the icy waters of Boston Harbour in an act of rebellion that became known as the ‘Boston Tea Party’.

Nearly 100 years later one of the most beloved works of English literature, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, was published in 1865. As Alice tumbled headlong through the dizzying madness of Wonderland she found herself at an altogether different kind of Tea Party, hosted by the infuriating Mad Hatter.

 

This classis scene and its memorable characters were the work of Lewis Carroll, who died in 1898, 125 years after the historic protest in Boston Harbour. To mark these twin anniversaries British artist Rory Dobner, well known for his stylish illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece, reimagines the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party aboard one of the British ships in Boston Harbour in December 1773, now riding a little higher in the water than it was the day before!
