Malice in Kulturland

When Alice falls ill just as her summer holiday is beginning, the world around her starts to spin, stretch, and turn upside down. On waking, she finds herself in an unfamiliar garden populated by talking animals—and facing a solemn Dodo who claims to be an extinct political faction.

What follows is a witty, topsy-turvy journey through a fanciful version of contemporary Britain, where newspapers’ anxieties, political rivalries, social conventions, and patriotic arguments are transformed into absurd encounters. Alice’s straightforward questions expose the contradictions of the grown-up world as former enemies reconsider their quarrels in the shadow of war. With playful wordplay, sharp satire, and the logic of a dream, this lively adventure invites listeners to view public affairs through a child’s candid and bewildered eyes.
