references
For those of you who don’t know, Peter and the
Starcatcher
is pretty much the origin story for Peter Pan. So, naturally, this play is filled with references to the great J.M. Barrie’s play, Peter Pan. Other references include a line from Milkshake, by Kelis. As for the more unfamiliar references, there are a lot of nautical terms and phrases that I wasn’t too familiar with. Slide11
Review!!!!
We fell
completely in love with the witty lines, the interesting plot, the (literal) destruction of the fourth wall, and just the imagination and creativity that went into this. No pun intended, but
we are completely hooked, and we always hated when the bell would ring in class, because that meant having to put down the script. This is, without a doubt,
one of our
favorite
plays
so
far. We would
highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun, humor, and adventure.
