J. M Barrie’s basic appeared the proper selection for the Bangalore School of Speech and Drama (BSSD) to ring of their 25th yr on stage. “It is a momentous occasion for us and I spent the last year reading innumerable scripts but nothing measured up,” says Zulfia Shaikh, director, Bangalore School of Speech and Drama.

“While Peter Pan is a story for children, the magic of this script is such that it is one for all age groups. If you read Peter Pan right now, I’m sure you’d do a double take over many of its pages; lines such as, “…so long as children are gay and innocent and heartless,” amongst many others, undoubtedly make it one for an older viewers.”
Though BSSD has introduced Peter Pan twice earlier than, in 2006 and 2010, this time spherical they’ve pulled out all of the stops for its presentation. “Visually, we have gone above and beyond. It’s going to be fun to watch — the stage has been designed for every scene to be elaborate as well as multidimensional and it will be an immersive experience for the audience,” she says, not wanting to give away an excessive amount of.
However, the final word intention of their manufacturing, in accordance to Zulfia is a revival of the studying behavior. “Theatre and Literature are linked; they go hand in hand. There can’t be one without the other. We hope our rendition will inspire audiences and the cast to pick up a book and read. What one sees unfold on screen or on stage is the director’s imagination, but when an individual picks up a book, it is their own version of Neverland that plays out for them.”
