Alice by Heart Written by Steven Sater, Jessie Nelson, & Duncan Sheik Directed by Daniel Inouye A young girl takes refuge in a London Tube station during WWII bombing and confronts grief, loss, and love with the help of her favorite book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland . In the rubble of the London Blitz of World War II, Alice Spencer’s budding teen life is turned upside down, and she and her dear friend Alfred are forced to take shelter in an underground tube station.
