Intuitive Response
Alice In Wonderland
Maybe it's a little cliché, but I immediately thought of tweedledum and tweedledee when reading the script, especially with regard to the evil twins. I found this clip from the animated disney movie, in which they are a little more friendly than I remember them in the book, but nonetheless, there was a lot that I loved. I like how they move together and almost appear to become one blob, then seperate and start to mirror each other's movements one would go up if the other went down, etc. When one is telling a story, the other acts it out, because they already know what's coming next. Their mischievous and cheeky attitude also reminds me of Oscar and Wisconsin. I see Alice as being similar to the Maid, because she seems to be the catalyst to much of the action. She is trapped and trying to escape this upside-down world, but must go on a journey before she can be set free.
I also got the image of a kaleidoscope from the play. The constant turning and changing of light, fracturing one image into a mirror of itself, then again, expanding and changing, but all from one central point that ties everything together. It is always symmetrical. One twin is another twin, and the two sets of twins are twins of each other, and all twins are twins of twins. It's always expanding, but in a mathematically even, symmetrical, controlled way.

cliché or not, it was still fun to watch ;)
The movement the tweedles make in the beginning of shaking hands with alice (jerking arms up and down back and forth) seems like a similar movement and mood that the Maid might feel while being jerked around by childish twins that crave attention.
En plus,
it sure is a kaleidescope. Through infinity,, of chorus lines of replicated shadows.
