Abstract

Focusing on Alice in Wonderland (dir. Tim Burton 2010) and its less successful sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass (dir. James Bobin 2016), John Logan’s TV show Penny Dreadful (2014‐2016) and the TV film adaptation of Sarah Waters’ novel Affinity written by Andrew Davies and directed by Tim Fywell (2008), this chapter argues that what they have in common, besides their Gothic-visual style, is the way in which they employ tailoring and shape-shifting, transformation and re-fashioning as visual cues for adaptive interventions into Victorian gender dynamics and family structures. The chapter concludes that, even though these TV series and films perform a rejection of traditional, heteronormative family roles and structures through their stagings of gender-role reversal or constructed/queer families of choice, their production context limits the extent to which they manage to ultimately queer their characters and narratives.
