"Well, I think you’d have to be pretty genius like

a Daniel Day-Lewis to be like, ‘Woah, you’re

completely someone else.’ I think that’s my goal

as an actor, but you know I’m only 25. I actually

had a really hard time though trying to find

similarities [with Tara] because the world

that all of these characters live in is so far

removed from what I’m used to. Tara is this

super rich, privileged girl living in this dream

that’s so detached from reality and accessibility.

I was like, how do I…I don’t even know people

who live in this world. But on the flip side, everyone

can relate in high school to the trials and tribulations

of female friendship, and caring about the quality of

your friendships or caring more about what other people

think about you. And you really see Tara struggle with

her friendship with Camila Mendes’ character Drea. When

[Drea] is going through a tough spot, Tara’s not really

there for her because she cares more about what others

might think of her. Instead of being a true friend you

see her kinda realise, ‘Oh nobody else really cared

and actually nobody else really matters, it’s about

the friendships you cultivate and that’s the most

important thing.’ I think that’s the whole purpose

of living on this planet, I would say."

With twisted high school comedy Do Revenge from

writer/director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and the

release of her upcoming A24 film, When You Finish

Saving the World,on the horizon, 25-year-old actor

Alisha Boe is finally getting the screen time she

deserves. Fresh from a trip with her best friends to

an undeclared location (for reasons of protecting it

at all costs), our Autumn/Fall 2022 cover star connects

over Zoom with one of her most nearest and dearest

– actor Gideon Adlon. They talk privilege, progression

and the power of karma… 

THIS IS A PRE-ORDER. Wonderland prints four times

a year. The Autumn/Fall 2022 issue ships when the

issue has been printed. Orders will ship in late September/ 

Early October. We will have many orders to ship, so please bear with us.
