Peter And The Starcatcher Analysis

The Saturday evening of April 22, 2017. I was present at the playwright production of Rick Elice’s Peter and the Starcatcher. Peter and the Starcatcher was premiered in Bradenton, Florida Manatee players performing arts center. My seating was in the middle section in aisle seat of the Bradenton Kiwanis theatre.

Peter has a friend named Molly Aster and her father is Lord Aster and he is the new ambassador and famous for being a starcatcher. Peter’s other friends are Ted and Prentiss.

Peter and Molly also must fight against pirates to protect the treasure chest that contains stardust working together they also fall in love. Molly saves Peter’s life when he is about to be overthrown the ship and they fly off to Mollusk island.
