For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday at Mixed Blood Theatre

This fantastical dramedy follows five adult siblings navigating the loss of their father, their childhood memories, and their evolving sense of self as they age. At once tender and thought-provoking, this play touches on politics, family, identity, and the power of imagination. With wit, warmth, and a touch of theatrical magic, the play asks what it truly means to “grow up”—and whether we ever really do. For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday continues Ruhl’s tradition of rich, emotionally resonant storytelling. Her plays have been produced on Broadway, across the U.S., and internationally, and have been translated into over a dozen languages.
