Alice, Or the Scottish Gravediggers

Synopsis:
alice, or the Scottish Gravediggers centers on alice, a young serving girl in her aunt's London inn, who becomes infatuated with one of the inn's lodgers, a dashing medical student named Edward. Unfortunately, Edward has competition in the form of another lodger, the wealthy and mysterious Sir Jack Spleen. This love triangle takes a dark turn and, soon, it is not simply alice's future that is at stake, but her very life. Moving between London and the Scottish Highlands, this highly unconventional meloDrama - alternately bizarre, hilarious, and heartbreaking - explores the meaning of "sacrifice." It asks its audience, "What are you willing to give to get what you want?"
