Peter Panties
Neworld Theatre / Leaky Heaven Circus (Vancouver)
MRS. DARLING: I don’t want you to have any kids. The trees doesn't want you to. The mermaids hate you. Everybody doesn't care about your health.
WENDY: I'm not your daughter. Well, I am your daughter. But you're not my mom.
- Peter Panties, Act IV, Scene 9
Peter Panties is a radical re-imagining of the Peter Pan story filtered through the collective brains of co-writers Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef, along with many of Vancouver’s most innovative creator-performers. It is a world Niall has been imagining for many years, often with his many artist friends. It’s a dreamscape where Peter Pan and Macbeth drink lattes, the Lost Boys hang with Grissom and Willows from CSI, and Tinkerbell and Wendy duke it out.
Peter Panties is a ground-breaking examination of the creative process, an interrogation of what it means to grow up with difference, and a wildly imagined world where fairytales, myth, pop culture and everyday life intertwine.
Featuring original songs and music by Veda Hille.
Warning: some mature content.
