Sadly though this isn't the end as her previous confidant has other plans for her.

ACT 2

Scene 1           Alice, still in her dream state embarks upon some strange street entertainers who, with their retro - style costume remind her of home and how times have moved on.   Alice tells them of her plight and they tell her of a casino ‘Hearts’  where she may find some work.

Scene 2           An encounter with a talking cat who gives who her some advice again drags up memories of where she has come from.

Scene 3           Following up the lead about work Alice arrives at ‘Hearts’ which she soon discovers is run by harsh management  (The Queen Of Hearts.) and strict rules.  Employees are unhappy and she wonders whether she has made a huge mistake.  Fortunately Alice makes two new friends (Gryphon & Mock Turtle) who keep her spirits up and help her realise that home maybe not so bad after all.  An employee is accused of stealing some money and her fate is to be decided by the work council.   Alice can see that the whole set up is fake and that all the evidence against the accused is unjustified. They are simply looking for  a scapegoat to cover up someone else's mistakes.   Alice realises then how much she has grown up since her arrival and how important it is to truthful to oneself.
