Sarah Ruhl
FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70TH BIRTHDAY
Playing Peter Pan at her hometown children’s theater is one of Ann’s fondest, most formative memories. Now, 50 years later, Neverland calls again, casting her and her siblings back to this faraway dreamscape where the refusal to grow up confronts the inevitability of growing old.
For Peter Pan On Her 70th Birthday premiered at Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2016. It debuted off-Broadway at Playwright's Horizons in August 2017, featuring Kathleen Chalfant and Lisa Emery. It premiered in Chicago at The Shattered Globe in April 2017, featuring Sarah's mother, Kathleen Ruhl, surrounded by the SGT Ensemble.
