I really enjoyed the play Peter Pan put on by Cheshire Academy. There is limited space in the Black Box, where the play took place, yet they used it wisely. The stage hands quickly transformed the stage into a new place, and it looked different then the first. In the beginning, when they transitioned from Wendy’s bedroom to Peter Pan’s woods, it took me by surprise. I didn’t realize that it could look so different with the same props. It looked very whimsical. They made it look real with this way different colors and flowers that they used. I think they did a great job at this and made it look realistic.
The actors in the play really embodied their characters, and I could tell this is something they enjoyed to do. I really liked watching the relationship between Wendy and Peter Pan. Sometimes it is hard to connect with scene partners, but they did a great job of showing the relationship that existed between them. From the beginning of the play, they grabbed my attention, especially when Wendy put the shadow on Peter Pan. From this moment I could see the “mother-child” relationship that existed between them. Wendy’s little brother also took me by surprise, I think that she did an awesome job at capturing the childish little boy. The way she stomped her feet and made her voice small made me laugh. It was very comical, and interesting to watch. The pirates were also very comical, especially the one with the glasses. My favorite part, was when Hook asked them to shake his hand, but they wouldn’t. The one with the glasses pretended to laugh and wouldn’t stop just to please Hook. I thought the way she did that was entertaining and really fun to watch. Even though it was such a tiny thing, it was definitely one of my favorite parts to watch. I enjoyed all of the characters in the play, and I think the entire cast brought the script to life.

I would definitely watch the play again. They did a exceptional job, and caught my attention. From the scenes to the characters, they brought it all to life. I would recommend others to watch this. They definitely pulled off Peter Pan, with the limited spaces they had. It was different then the ordinary Peter Pan, because it was darker. However, this made it more interesting. I would like to congratulate everyone working on the play, because it was spectacular.
