Dixon Place Hosts: Darlings Presented by Animal Engine

About This Show

Animal Engine Theatre Company presents DARLINGS, a re-imagining of J.M. Barrie’s classic “Peter Pan” from the perspective of Mr. and Mrs. Darling, two parents struggling with the loss of their children. They search for them by day and tell stories about a place called Neverland by night … where the mermaids will drown you, the pirates might kill you, and you can’t trust the charming little boy with the impish smile.

A meditation on loss, grief, and healing, this free performance is paired with a lobby display highlighting the work and stories of creative arts therapists, and 20-minute post-play small group reflections led by experienced facilitators.

“The two reenact the adventures of Peter and Wendy, turning the familiar story into an exploration of hope and grief. This polished, highly intelligent, desperately sad show will linger with you.“-Minneapolis City Pages

“The show is a whirlwind of pain, giddiness, longing and childish innocence, as the play tells the traditional story of Peter Pan but from a new perspective: in the eyes of the Darling parents … physical devised theater at its best.“ -Orlando Watermark
