Es dämmerte schon, und der Mann war froh, als sein Ziel, das Dörfchen Amesbury, in Sicht kam. Der Mann blickte auf die Ansammlung massiger dunk- ler Steine, die linker Hand in der Ferne emporragten. Er hatte sein Leben lang in der Nähe von Stonehenge ge- wohnt und den Ort bis vor Kurzem für eine unbedeutende Gegebenheit der Landschaft gehalten. In den letzten Wo- chen, seit der Nacht, als seltsame Lichter am Himmel gefunkelt hatten, war ihm jedoch aufgefallen, dass sein Blick von den Steinen angezogen wurde. Verärgert über sich selbst wandte der Alte den Kopf ab. Er war ein vernünftiger Mensch und gehörte nicht zu den 11 Leuten, die die Geschichten glaubten, die seit jener Nacht durch das Dorf spukten. Es waren Geschichten von bösen Geistern, die um die Steine streiften, von Tieren, die sich merkwürdig benahmen, von Leuten, die Seltsames ver- spürten . »Blödsinn«, murmelte der Mann und beschleunigte seine Schritte. KR®CHZ! KR®CHZ! KR®CHZ! Der Schrei des Vogels erschreckte den Mann. Er blickte auf und sah einen großen Raben, der über der Ebene kreiste. Der Mann blieb stehen, den Blick auf den Vogel gerichtet und nicht auf die Erde. Deshalb sah er auch nicht, wie der Schatten des Raben über seinen eigenen Schatten glitt. Aber er spürte es. Der Mann wusste nicht, dass es ein Schatten war. Er dachte, es sei der kalte Wind. Er schauderte und wickelte sich noch fester in seinen Mantel. Plötzlich wurde ihm schwindlig und er stolperte zur Seite. Als er sein Gleich- gewicht wiederhatte, ging er weiter. Allerdings nicht auf dem Weg. Er wandte sich nach rechts, einer Baumgruppe entgegen. Der alte Mann wusste nicht, warum er das tat; er konnte nicht mehr richtig denken. Der Alte erreichte die Bäume und sah etwas Merkwür- diges: Tiere, mindestens ein Dutzend – ein Fuchs, ein Kaninchen, zwei Hunde, ein paar Eichhörnchen, mehrere Vögel und eine Katze –, die völlig regungslos ordentlich 12 in einer Reihe saßen und beobachteten, wie sich der Alte näherte. Etwa drei Meter vor ihnen blieb er stehen. Wieder wusste er nicht, warum. Er betrachtete die Tiere einen Augenblick. Dann trat der Fuchs aus der Reihe. Er näher- te sich dem Mann, doch ging er nicht gerade auf ihn zu, sondern so an ihm vorbei, dass sein Schatten den des Mannes bedeckte. Dabei geschah zweierlei: Dem Mann wurde kalt und er schauderte, und der Fuchs sah ihn an, als hätte er ihn gerade erst bemerkt, und lief davon. Als Nächstes trat einer der Hunde vor und tat es dem Fuchs gleich. Er ließ seinen Schatten über den des Mannes gleiten und lief danach weg. Ihm folgten der zweite Hund und danach die restlichen Tiere, eines nach dem anderen. Jedes Mal verspürte der Mann eine Kälte. Doch jetzt war da auch noch etwas anderes – etwas Neues, das in ihm wuchs. Es war schwach, aber der Mann spürte, dass es mit jedem Tier, das davonlief, stärker wurde. Und er begriff, dass dieses Neue – was immer es war – von den Tieren auf ihn überging. Er wusste, dass es geschah, konnte aber nichts dagegen tun. Nur zusehen, wie in einem Traum. Als das letzte Tier verschwunden war, ging der Alte zum Weg zurück und stapfte wie in Trance Amesbury entgegen. Er erreichte das Dorf, als die Sonne hinter den Hügeln ver- sank. Aber anstatt nach Hause zu gehen, wo seine Frau ihm das Abendessen bereitete, begab er sich zum Hotel George, der ältesten Herberge des Dorfes. 13 Er ging nicht hinein; vor einem der Fenster blieb er stehen. Im Lampenlicht, das aus der Gaststube drang, warf der Mann einen Schatten vor sich auf die Straße. Kaum eine Minute hatte er so gestanden, als eine

  • Educator's Guide
    STARSTUFF ADAPTING NEVERLAND Peter and the Starcatcher is an example of an adaptation. Rick Elice wrote the play based on the novels by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. But when a playwright adapts something for the theatre, he’s doing much more than transcribing the dialogue from the source material; he’s reinventing the story for the stage. By experiencing the process of the playwright, students will encounter the play with a new perspective. Line of Inquiry: What is the process of the playwright as he adapts literature for the stage? Standards Addressed: Curabitur sed leo orci, vel fermentum lorem. Curabitur id diam sit amet diam euismod molestie ac sit amet metus. Pellentesque semper semper gravida. Suspendisse a dolor metus, ac sagittis turpis. Nam imperdiet condimentum hendrerit. Goal: To expose students to the process of adaptation by providing them with firsthand experience in reinventing literature for the stage. Objectives: Students will: • Adapt literature by writing original stage scenes. • Use problem-solving skills to creatively solve common challenges associated with adaptation. • Provide and receive critical feedback on creative content. Warm Up: Dramatic Discussion Use these prompts to engage your students in a conversation about adaptation: • Are you aware of any books that have been made into movies? Movies that have become stage musicals? What about books that have become plays? • From the examples you shared, talk about some of the differences between the original version and the adaptation. • Why do you think the adapters
