Peter Pan Goes Wrong is designed to work on two levels:
Firstly, the classic tale of Peter Pan, which must be allowed to emerge from the disasters
and mishaps within the piece, and secondly, the story of the actors performing the play,
which should shine through the cracks in their performances throughout to serve the
underlying metanarrative. Everything in the show should be played for truth and not for
laughs. When it goes wrong, it hurts!
It is important to remember that not all of the actors in the play are "bad actors," but simply the victims of circumstance. The comedy comes from their unwavering endeavor to continue and their optimistic belief that their luck can always change. |
