| Description |
Independent's 100th show.
It's a captivating thought, a meeting between the people who inspired two of the world's great children's stories - Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. John Logan has pondered such an encounter and extrapolated it into a philosophic fantasy piece. How big an influence on their lives has been the burden of being famous literary characters? His narrative device comes in the form of Alice selling an original manuscript when things become tight in her latter years while Peter has become a publisher, quite interested in extracting a memoir from Alice. They meet in London and compare notes as each is about to present a literary speech and, through the magic of Logan's theatricality, their reflections on life's experience evoke both the classic book versions of themselves as well as characters pivotal to their actuality. |
