Adventure to The Neverland

The play called Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie is the most famous work of him. It was later adapted into several different kinds of work such as musical version and movie version. However the sad thing is that people do not know who wrote Peter Pan and the adapted versions are far more well-known than the original play version which our Cheshire Academy Varsity Players proudly well-performed. I thought it was really good idea to feature the original conception of Peter Pan which has darker characteristics than the ones people know. The performance was really good and I could not see any major mistakes and it impressed me in various ways.
The first thing that impressed me was the setting. It seemed that there were too many props which made the stage look too complicated for the stage crews to remember all the locations where they needed to be; there were huge tree trunks, a large mesh, and a heavy ship handle. Nevertheless, every time when setting had to be changed, all the lights turned off, a whole bunch of people appeared, and did their job. After the light turned on, the setting was changed completely and perfectly. Peter Pan required several background transformation and our stage crews and some volunteers did really awesome job at making as well as moving it. (Light was also very good even without Jack Jack!)
Next thing was the music. The background musics which were played by Maggie (flute and recorder) and another piano player (I have no idea who he/she was) were really nice. Charlotte's humming melody which kept going on throughout the whole play was also very cool. I really enjoyed musical features so much.
Some comical factors were memorable too. Faculty pirates especially Mr. Porter who seemed comfortable at acting and casts' funny motions which showed the trace of agonizing over the perfection of the play were impressive. If there was one thing that was really shame; I tried to apprehend all the lines and story line but I could not because of my not perfect English skill. If I could understand, it must have been better.
Thanks to our directors, at least people who watched Cheshire Academy version of Peter Pan would realize about the fact that is not well-known and hopefully become interested in J. M. Barrie's version and our amazing drama program.
