BREAKDOWN

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER

SEEKING:

BLACK STACHE - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 30-50 A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, hirsute, and suspiciously well-read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly.

MOLLY ASTER - The character is female. Any ethnicity. 18-25 A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.

BOY/PETER - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 18-25 A lonely and hardened orphan who doesn't miss much. Nameless, homeless, and friendless at the beginning of the play and a hero by the end. He wants a home and a family more than anything, and dreams of a life of being free.

GREMPKIN - The characters are male. Any ethnicity. 30-50 The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. Doubles as FIGHTING PRAWN; MACK; SÁNCHEZ.

MRS. BUMBRAKE - The characters may be male-identifying, gender non-conforming, and/or non-binary. Any ethnicity. 30-50 Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. She still has enough charm in her age to attract a sailor or two. Doubles as TEACHER.

BILL SLANK - The characters are male. Any ethnicity. 35-55. The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. He does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts him constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. Doubles as HAWKING CLAM.

SMEE - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 25-55. Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim.

PRENTISS - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 18-25. An orphan, ambitious, hyper-articulate, and logical. He yearns to be leader, even when he knows in his heart that he'll never be one. A bit of a blowhard with a touch of cowardice.

ALF - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 40-60. A seafarer, an old sea dog proud of his tenure. His kind heart gives him an appeal to the feminine sensibility.

LORD LEONARD ASTER - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 40-60. Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher.

CAPTAIN ROBERT FALCON SCOTT - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 35-45. Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.

TED - The character is male. Any ethnicity. 18-25 An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language.
