A lyrical vision of the classic story of Peter Pan, Jeremy Bloom's Peter/Wendy is like a bedtime story for adults and kids alike. Seven actors in striped pajamas take on the roles of every character from J.M. Barrie's eternal of the boy who wouldn't grow up using hand-held lights, the simplest of sets and narrative movement. Bloom also weaves in elements of Barrie's lesser-known The Little White Bird, the prequel to Peter Pan. From the moment you step into this Cuckoo's Theater Project production at Chicago Dramatists Theatre, you'll be drawn into Bloom's low-tech version of Never-Never Land.
