About The Show
Brace yourselves for an awfully big adventure when the inept and accident-prone Cornley Drama Society set out to present J.M. Barrie’s much-loved classic tale of Peter Pan, their most audacious production to date. What ensues is two acts of hysterical disaster, battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes. But will they ever make it to Neverland?

You’ll laugh; they’ll cry. Something so wrong has never been so right. Containing the same potent blend of hilarity that features in their award-winning The Play That Goes Wrong, Mischief’s take on Peter Pan is unforgettable, even if the Cornley Drama Society wish they could forget what just happened.

By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayers & Henry Shields

Directed by Bryan D. Durbin and Karlin Marie Kahler

Roles

CHRIS (Mr. Darling, Captain Hook)

• Male, 30s – 50s
• The uptight director of the Society who has cast himself in the show’s most coveted role. Rigid, high-status clown. Deeply committed to his art and everything going smoothly – his pain is evident when something goes wrong and every time someone laughs the pain becomes worse. Has utter disdain for the audience and takes his frustration out on them and the rest of the cast.

ROBERT (Nana the Dog, Peter’s Shadow, Starkey)

• Male, 30s – 40s
• Robert likes to think he is a leading man, although he may not entirely resemble one. He truly believes that he can act his way out of every predicament. Committed to the play 100%. This is not a parody of bad acting, it’s just that Robert is unaware of those around him. Single-minded and bombastic.

FRANCIS (Narrator, Cecco)

• 40s – 80s
• A robust professional who, despite his best efforts, fruitlessly tries to keep the production together.

SANDRA (Wendy Darling)

• Female, 20s – 30s
• Ambitious, flirtatious with a huge ego. Believing herself the quintessential leading lady, she tries to steal the scene at every turn that leads her to constantly overact.
• Character participates in scenes with stage combat and intimacy and appears onstage in undergarments.

DENNIS (John Darling, Mr. Smee)

• Male, 20s – 60s
• Wretched, low status and terrified of being in a play. The sole reason he joined the Society was to make friends, but this has back-fired somewhat. Not a good actor at all but imbues everything with a painful truth. Naive clown.
• Character participates in stage combat scenes and appears onstage in undergarments.

ANNIE (Mrs. Darling, Lisa, Curly and Tinker Bell)

• Female, 30s – 40s
• After an unexpected taste of the spotlight, Annie is deeply committed to each of her many roles but finds herself biting off more than she can chew.
• Character participates in scenes with stage combat and intimacy and appears onstage in undergarments.

MAX (Michael Darling, Crocodile)

• Male, 30s – 40s
• Only cast because his uncle put up the money. Devoid of any theatrical talent but longs for the spotlight. Earnest, sincere and sweet, audience connection is vital for this role.
• Character participates in scenes with stage combat and intimacy and appears onstage in undergarments.

TREVOR

• 20s – 80s
• The Society’s stage manager. Doesn’t like actors, certainly doesn’t want to be one.
• Flying required.

JONATHAN (Peter Pan)

• Male, 30s – 40s
• Handsome ‘hero’ of the play. Jonathan joined the Society for a laugh.
• Flying required. Character participates in scenes with stage combat and intimacy and appears onstage in undergarments.

LUCY (Tootles)

• Female, 20s
• Robert’s niece in the company. Timid, naïve and vulnerable. She suffers from stage fright and is terrified by the whole experience of performing, however finds her voice and confidence at the end.

GILL

• 20s – 80s
• A Cornley stagehand. Split tracks as a paramedic.

About The Show
A town’s proud history, the legend of a local hero, the coveted privilege of reserved parking: nothing is sacred during the town council meeting. This razor-sharp comedy turns from hilarious to chilling as petty policy matters give way to the truth roiling just beneath the surface of the town’s historical mythology.

By Tracey Letts

Rated PG-13 for strong language and mature themes, including depictions of violence, racism, and trauma.
