AACT Youth Present: Peter/Wendy
Get ready for Neverland.
Jeremy Bloom’s Peter/Wendydraws from J.M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy and The Little White Bird (not the Disney version).
We all think we know Peter Pan—the boy who never grows up, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and a hungry crocodile—but legends evolve as they’re retold.
In this version, Bloom strips the story to its most essential, imaginative parts to explore the often bittersweet experience of growing up and leaving childhood behind.“Just think happy thoughts.”
Note: This script keeps author J.M. Barrie’s original text, and the colloquial term “a**”, which Tinker Bell uses to express her frustration with Peter.
