“Peter and the Starcatcher” provides a humorous and fantastical backstory for the beloved character of Peter Pan and his arch-nemesis, Captain Hook.

In this wickedly imaginative play, we meet a poor orphaned child on the high seas simply called Boy because, in the absence of a mother and a father, he was never given a name.

His sad and lonely world is turned upside down when he meets Molly.

The daughter of famous Starcatcher Lord Aster, our heroine is on a mission to save the world and protect a treasure trunk filled with magical star stuff from getting into the hands of evil and greedy pirate Black Stache.

As they travel aboard the Neverland ship headed for a faraway land, Molly and Boy learn about love, friendship and forge an unbreakable bond.
