Peter and the Starcatcher

script lines to memorize. (Narrator Alf and Pirate Alf)

Sailors: Or its down or its down gooooooooooooooooooo!🎶

With everything safely aboard, final preparations are made on the deck of the Neverland.

Narrator Aster: Dodo: a fat clumsy bird; hence the Latin name Didus ineptus

Known for its greedy appetite, slothful pace, and sense of entitlement, the dodo was fearless of people and faced no real competition - an eerie mirror of the British Empire at its colonial zenith. Of course those same traits were responsible for the dodo’s extinction - an eerie mirror of the British empire after its colonial zenith - but thereby hangs another tale.

Narrator Aster: At the mention of mother, the boy heard a wisp of a song he could barely remember-

-and saw a shadow of a home he hoped he might have.

Stache: A-choo! (Off stage)

He’s coming aft!

Narrator Smee: Of course, the boy don’t have to imagine-

because there they are, and there’s the cat-

Slank: Zarboff promised me his whole bleedin’ fleet in exchange for the trunk in my cabin.

Strong gusts blowing, wind’s hit 34 knots!

Alf: NOW BETTY!

Slank gets his cat right in the puss!

Pirate Slank: Abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

Smee: Check your trunks! Some trunks may appear identical to other trunks!

Save yerself!

Narrator Scott: -crooking her finger and winking her eye, and Peter falling for her big time.

And rushing up meet him-

Teacher: …And we’ve come up with a good one, haven’t we?

And in the grotto, or in the water, or both - an echo, or a voice or both, seemed to answer:

Narrator Molly: And you can’t breathe -

-from the bugs-

Ted: …Ow!

Did he say the sun/ But if you can see the sun coming up -

Narrator Stache: The outsider

Molly, true to her word, would remember everything until one night many years later -
