When do you really become a grown-up? Is there a moment that defines maturity? Or will you, like Peter Pan, "never wear a tie"?
In this moving, tender and very personal play from Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee Sarah Ruhl, the longing for the immortality of Neverland confronts the inevitable passage of time. Five siblings - 2 doctors, 3 Republicans and 1 teacher of rhetoric - move from their father's hospital bed to a Jameson-fueled kitchen table wake, and then head for the "second star to the right and straight on until morning" (J.M. Barrie). In this world of make-believe, now seen through the eyes of these adults, there is still magic and wisdom for the young at heart.
Ruhl's play premiered this season at Actors Theatre of Louisville's Humana Festival, and transferred to Berkeley Rep this summer.
The production team for FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70th BIRTHDAY includes Jack Magaw (scenic design), Sarah Jo White* (costume design), Shelley Strasser Holland* (lighting design), Chris Kriz+ (sound design), Vivian Knouse* (props design), Michael Stanfill (projections design), Steve Peebles* (assistant director), Regina Victor (assistant director), Kelly Claussen (production manager) and Tina Jach (stage manager).
