Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to
unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, PETER AND THE STARCATCHER playfully
explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from
Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know
nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, containing a
precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a
precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training, who
realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so
powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is
taken over by pirates – led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain
determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.
