Synopsis:
Journey to Neverland in this fast-paced adaptation of the classic tale. Promising to be a mother for Peter and the Lost Boys, Wendy and her brothers embark on an incredible adventure filled with swashbuckling pirates, fantastic natives, and the fearsome Captain Hook. In the end, Wendy must choose whether to stay with the Lost Boys forever or face the adventure of a lifetime: growing up.
“We’ll have actors and set pieces manipulated in the tradition of Japanese Bunraku – puppeteers dressed completely in black to manipulate the actors themselves,allowing us to fly through the clouds and engage in spectacular battles – all within our intimate theater space.”
