PETER PAN Or the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up
PRESS RELEASE NORTH HIGH SCHOOL to present PETER PAN or The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up The Appleton North High School Theatre Department will present the play PETER PAN or The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up on May 16th through the 19th in the North High School Auditorium, 5000 North Ballard Road. This new version adapted from the original J.M. Barrie play and novel by Trevor Nunn and John Caird for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre of London enjoyed phenomenal success when first produced. The famous team known for their productions of THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF NICHOLAS NICKLEBY and the musical LES MISERABLES have painstakingly researched and restored Barrie’s original play. “. .a national masterpiece.”—London Times. This is the beloved story of Peter, Wendy, Michael, John, Capt. Hook, Smee, the lost boys, pirates, and the Indians, and of course, Tinker Bell, in their adventures in Never Land. However, for the first time, the play is here restored to Barrie’s original intentions. In the words of adaptor, John Caird: “ We were fascinated to discover that there was no one single document called PETER PAN. What we found was a tantalizing number of different versions, all of them containing some very agreeable surprises….We have made some significant alterations, the greatest of which is the introduction of a new character, the Storyteller, who is in fact the author himself.” North’s theatre director, Ron Parker, states, “This is a very different PETER PAN than the one most people are familiar with. It is neither the popular musical version nor the Disney animated recreation, but goes back to Barrie’s original play and novel.

Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

RESNICOW SCHROEDER March 18, 2011 RSC: How Stratford got its bite back Vibrant, sexy and ensconced in a swish new home, as it reaches its 50th year the Royal Shakespeare Company is buzzing. But just a while ago, it looked doomed. Charles Spencer meets Michael Boyd, the man who pulled an institution back from the brink Michael Boyd strikes me as one of the great unsung heroes of our cultural life. With dogged determination, the artistic director has pulled the Royal Shakespeare Company back to the commanding heights of British theatre. As the company prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary season in Stratford, in a building that has been spectacularly transformed, I can’t remember a time when it seemed in more exuberant form, or more sharply focused. The rise in its fortunes seems to be encapsulated by its joyous smash hit Matilda, based on the Roald Dahl story, which opened last December. It’s the best new musical since Billy Elliot and will transfer to the West End this autumn, with Broadway almost certain to follow. Suddenly the RSC seems vibrant and sexy again. Last week the critics were invited to see productions of King Lear and Romeo and Juliet in the newly remodelled Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Very wisely, Boyd is opening the new building with shows that were already in the rep of the temporary Courtyard Theatre, a massive metal box that provided both a home, and the prototype for the new RST, during the three and a half years of the building project – which finished on time and on budget.
