Description

The culmination of Dodgson’s friendship with the Daniel family occurred in the summer of 1895 when Rachel Daniel, at the age of 15, played the lead role in a performance of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland at Worcester House Garden, organized as a fundraiser by Emily Daniel. Rachel had a talent for acting and went on to appear in other Oxford stage productions, including a role as Olivia in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.
