NewFest 2024: Rod Parker Playwriting Fellowship Production

SECOND STAR TO THE RIGHT

By Olivia Lindquist ’27
Directed by Joe Antoun

Second Star to the Right turns the story of Peter Pan that we know on its head. Captain Hook, formerly Aunt Cora to three kids, is lured to Neverland by Pan’s charm and figures out the secrets of the island. Plagued by the death of one of the children she nannies, she gathers help from the fae and mermaids to take down Peter Pan once and for all but falls short and barely escapes his wrath, losing a hand in the process. With the Darlings’ arrival, the tide will change for everyone.

A note from the
Director, Joe Antoun

Welcome to Emerson Stage’s annual celebration of new works. I am pleased to present to you the Rod Parker award winning play Olivia Lindquist’s Second Star to the Right. In this dark and funny re-imagining of the Peter Pan tale, the playwright looks through a fresh lens to re-investigate some of the opposing themes from the original story. The ideas of Naivety vs. Innocence and Life in Neverland vs. The Real World are investigated through the classic optic of good vs evil.

In the world of Second Star to the Right, the naivety of those in charge of innocent children leads to their true endangerment. When Pan charms Cora and Wendy with the wonderment and beauty of Neverland, their first impression is “It sounds too good to be true”.

They later find out they were right. Much of life in Neverland is as we have always known it. The usual rules for children disappear. No bedtime, no growing up. However in this Neverland, Pan has the power to steal the memories of people so he can remain young. This loss of memory makes them forget their home and family, requiring them stay in Neverland. The children are afraid to grow up. For Pan, youth is immortality and the result of the memory theft is a tragic cost to most. Sadly, inhabitants of Neverland don’t know they exist in the real world at the same time. They are simply unaware of
their life or death there.

Olivia has cleverly and gently underscored the play with these given circumstances. In doing so, she pays homage to J.M. Barrie’s play and novel Peter and Wendy and all its darkness. This also makes Second Star to the Right a very fun new play to direct. The opportunities for humor, interpretation and design are endless. The show is a cautionary tale with heart. When the play lands home, it reminds me of two aphorisms that I heard while I was growing up: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” and “There is no place like home.”

Hook learns this the hard way motivating her to explain that “Growing up allows us all to spend the rest of our lives with the ones we love. Remember that and hug your parents and family when you get home. And every time after that”.

A note from the
Playwright, Olivia Lindquist

The story of Peter Pan, especially the Disney version, is iconic. From adaptation to adaptation, the key points and moments remain true. However, this is not like the Peter Pan stories we are used to and it should be treated as such.

I am incredibly grateful to the actors, crew, and production team for bringing this project to life. It’s more than I could have ever imagined and I love being a part of the whole process.

I also want to give a big thank you and shout out to the actors for bringing my characters to life in such a fascinating way. Even though I attended rehearsals, I still was blown away every time you all took on your characters.

This play was originally an exercise to get me working on a new project in my downtime. It went from sitting in my drawer after a few drafts to the submission box of the Rod Parker Fellowship. Since then, it has gone through another round of revision and is now finally seeing the stage. I sincerely hope this play sticks with you in the same way it sticks with me.

This is a story about naivety, grief, feminine rage, and most importantly: growing up. This trip to Neverland holds our hearts close and our enemies even closer. Be wary of the hero, Peter Pan, or you, too, might be forced to grow up too quickly.

Keep your eye on the second star to the right.

A note from the
Dramaturg, Abigail Lee

You need not be sorry for her. She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than the other girls.
– J.M. Barrie

Throughout the decades, we have seen various stories and adaptations of Peter Pan everywhere, in books, on stage, and in songs. What a strange character to be a household name, the boy who never grew up! Why do we tell this story to children and is it all that good to stay young forever? Many people have been trying to answer these questions through their explorations of Peter Pan the character as well as his fabled Neverland.

It all began back in Kensington Gardens, London with J.M. Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies boys. He met the two older boys, George and Jack, who were 4 and 5 at the time, respectively. Barrie became close to the entire family and eventually became the caretaker of the five Llewelyn Davies boys when their mother died. Before there was Peter Pan, he wrote The Little White Bird. The story follows a young boy and an older man who is trying to steal him away
from his mother. He entertains the boy by telling him the story of ‘Peter Pan,’ a baby who never gets older. In a way, Peter Pan is the original adaptation of his own story. Peter is named after one of the Llewelyn Davies boys and it’s hard to call the story anything less than semi-autobiographical. J.M. Barrie’s fascination with youth and this story led him to write the play and book, Peter and Wendy. In the book, Peter kills lost boys; he deforms them to fit into
doors and he neglects the Darlings. He is everything you would expect a boy who has been living for potentially centuries but still has his baby teeth would be. None of these things are malicious; however, he does them because he is naive and can’t understand the consequences. So why would we tell this story as anything but cautionary?

The first production of Peter Pan opened on December 27, 1904, and now we’re here almost 120 years later with hundreds if not thousands of retellings of Barrie’s story. The Disney adaptation from 1953 is probably the most well-known retelling. The movie added iconic songs that are heavily associated with the story like “You Can Fly!” and “A Pirate’s Life.” Another notable adaptation, and a personal favorite of the playwright, is Steven Spielberg’s Hook which has Pan returning to Neverland after growing up. There are plenty of adaptations that blatantly paint Pan as the villain, but if you are looking you can find evil undertones in almost every single Peter Pan story. Second Star to the Right flips the Peter Pan narrative on its head and takes you to a much more
dangerous version of Neverland than you’ve ever been to before, and I hope you find our Pan the most villainous you’ve met thus far.
