It was definitely entertaining. My friend enjoyed it also. He said it was ok. The little girl was quite impressive. Everyone in the audience thought so. I can't recall the character's name, but she was the surrogate mother for the crew. Everyone was rather good in the play, but she was most outstanding.Written on Mar 08 2012

Here are some positives:

(2) The actors playing Peter and Smee/Tootles were superb.
(3) Great Designs for the Set, Lighting, Sound, Costumes and Make-up.
Here is the one negative:
(1) The actors playing Wendy & Mrs. Darling/Capt. Hook were often speaking at such rapid rate it was difficult to follow what they were saying.

The beauty, the horror, the dream, the nightmare, the fantasy and the reality of childhood are harmoniously juxtaposed in this original rendition of Peter Pan. This is a stark contrast to the Disney cartoon. Instead, this play takes an in depth look at the child psychology that is at the root of J.M. Barrie’s original source material. The brilliant staging blurs the line between the real world of the Darling’s nursery and the surreal fantasy of Neverland. Gone is the false, idealized image of childhood innocence. Don’t be fooled by preconceived notions of Peter Pan; this is not a children’s production. The play’s haunting set, sound effects and performances will prove effectively chilling even for adults. However, as is the case with childhood, to every place of darkness, there is a place of light and beauty. The actors performances were heart-wrenching, especially those by the three leads, Peter, Wendy and Mrs. Darling/Captain Hook. Unlike what is usually the case, here the adult cast manages to magically transform into startlingly realistic children. Although not everyone’s cup of tea, if you are a person of imagination, you will be able to appreciate that Peter Pan, the Boy Who Hates Mothers is pure magic.Written on Feb 17 2012

When we approach telling a new story we get to consider the ways in which theater is best used and how we can truly fulfill our mission of telling stories that are at once easily approachable and yet carry deeply important ideas.”
