Rachel Feeny-Williams has reimagined the stories of Neverland and its inhabitants as a crime noir, with the Peter Pan creator, J.M. Barry/Barrie as a hard-boiled private detective trying to find truth and justice in a corrupt city where the line between law and organized crime is blurred. The dialogue is sharp; The crime story is compelling; and the way Feeny-Williams reinvents characters and concepts for an entirely new genre is inventive and entertaining.

A seedy, noir-ish Peter Pan taking place after the events of the movie, this play turns familiar characters on their heads and shows us another side to them. I loved learning what happened to the Darling children after their first trip to Neverland. If Martin Scorsese had written Hook, it would probably be something like this.

Just think of a happy thought, any Happy little Thought...& you can fly.
I adore the one-act version of this play, so obviously I am a big fan of this expanded full-length. FAITH, TRUST AND... takes all the whimsical characters we know and love, and drops them into a noir crime drama that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. Rachel Feeny-Williams' characters are distinct and compelling, in a script so vivid and well-crafted it jumps off the page, making it so easy to visualize a fully-staged production.
