    “

    Zeitler reimagines John Barrie's Peter Pan as magical-realist exploration of Mike Darling's trauma as both a brother with unanswered questions about his sister's mental illness, and as a veteran whose wingman and lover died in his arms during a sneak attack. A great piece for solo performers.

    So much in a small space. Wonderfully constructed one-person show that covers a lot of ground in a pithy fashion.
