  • The Wonderland Challenge 2: Alice Through The Looking Glass Audiobook with 174 actors in aid of Cancer Research UK Hello, I’m Brad Shaw, voice actor and founder of VO training community Wonderland VO. At the beginning of the first lock down, I was diagnosed with stage 3 melanoma and had to undergo a year of immunotherapy. Just as I was getting over that, I got prostate cancer and had an operation just over a year ago. Then more recently, I heard that the stage 3 melanoma had returned and so I had had an operation in July at The Royal Marsden Cancer Hospital in London to remove lymph nodes from under my arm. I’m eternally grateful to the amazing doctors, nurses and surgeons who treated me. During that first lockdown I created The Wonderland Challenge, where 159 voiceovers and celebrities each recorded a minute of Alice in Wonderland and donated to the NHS. I feel the time is right for The Wonderland Challenge 2: Alice Through The Looking Glass this time in aid of Cancer Research. So I split the book down into 175 one minute chunks and again put this out to the voiceover community. As well as recording their minute, I asked each voice actor to donate at least £10 to Cancer Research UK. I was overwhelmed with the response. Within days I filled all the slots and the donations started to come in. You can read some of their heart breaking stories on the project page at www.wonderlandvo.com/challenge. Amongst the 174 gorgeous voices in this production are Phyllis Logan (Mrs Hughes from Downton Abbey), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean), actor Henry Goodman, Rosemary Ashe (the original Carlotta in Phantom) and a range of the finest award winning voice actors. I then spent several days editing all the pieces together and here it is. Lewis Carroll’s wonderful tale of Alice Through The Looking Glass. So far, I’ve raised more than £4600 but with your help we can raise a lot more. If you have friends or family affected by cancer or if you listen to the book, PLEASE donate to Cancer Research UK here: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/brads-giving-page-62 Enjoy! 🌟📖🎗 #WonderlandChallenge2 #AliceThroughTheLookingGlass #CancerResearchUK #wonderlandvo #bradshawvoice

    Chapter 12. Which Dreamed It?
    Dec 22 2023

    Alice Through The Looking Glass with 175 readers in aid of Cancer Research UK

    Chapter 12 of "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll is titled "Which dreamed it." The last chapter opens with Alice rubbing her eyes and chastising Kitty, the black kitten. Alice is convinced Kitty was with her in the Looking-glass world and decides Kitty was, in fact, the Red Queen. She further decides that Snowdrop, the white kitten, was the White Queen and her cat, Dinah, was Humpty Dumpty. Then she comes to the crucial issue: "who it was that dreamed it all?" This was the question she'd pondered when she first encountered the sleeping king and had a discussion with Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Now she decides, "it must have been either me or the Red King. He was part of my dream, of course—but then I was part of his dream, too!"
