In this fun and imaginative prequel to Peter Pan, find out more than ever about these classic characters you thought you knew. Peter and the Starcatcher runs at The Argyle Theatre through Oct. 21.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, two ships from the British Empire set sail on the high seas for the imaginary kingdom of Rundoon. On one ship, The Neverland, three orphan boys encounter a smart and witty girl named Molly Aster, the daughter of an English lord and minister to the queen. Also on board is a trunk full of precious starstuff that Molly has promised to protect.
One of the orphans, known only as Boy, is bitter and unpleasant. Once he meets Molly, his lonely and miserable world is turned upside down.
In the midst of all the upheaval, Boy meets Black Stache who gives him the name of Peter while trying to convince him to become a pirate.
This is not passive viewing. Come ready to be fully engaged in this production that feels like a free-for-all… and you’ll love every minute.
