SYNOPSIS:
Have you ever wondered how Peter Pan got his name? Or how he met Tinkerbell?

In this swashbuckling prequel to Peter Pan, a dozen actors playing pirates, mermaids—and of course, our favorite Lost Boys—set out for an adventure filled with ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of theatrical storytelling.

The play opens on the dock of Portsmouth, where two ships are about to set sail: the Wasp and the Neverland, both headed for the kingdom of Rundoon.

Aboard the Wasp is Lord Aster, father of Molly Aster, who has been tasked by the Queen of England to deliver a trunk of precious cargo to Rundoon.

An identical trunk is bound for the Neverland, along with three orphans, a nameless Boy and his friends Prentiss and Ted.

Bill Slank, the evil captain of the Neverland, switches the two trunks before setting sail on the Neverland with Lord Aster’s daughter Molly, and her nanny, Mrs. Bumbrake, in tow.

Once at sea the Wasp is taken over by the most feared pirate of the seven seas, Black Stache!
The adventure continues in this rollicking tale of friendship, daring and the search for the leader in all of us.
