The play Peter Pan is the first play I have ever seen in the campus and undoubtedly, I am amazed by the splendid show. I think the play directors especially spend lots of thoughts in making the play be provocative of mirth.
All actors are really into their characters and the performance of the dog, Captain Hook and the father are really notable in creating a comical atmosphere. William, acts as the dog, shows his inner emotion by facial expression especially when the father is mean to him and the nurse is dragging his ear in order to let him leave. In addition, his changing sound of dog really is viewed as an indication of the dog’s feeling. I still remember how the dog bark with great grievances when he is dragged away. The performance of John and the actor of the mother and Captain Hook show their ability of acting characters with extremely different personalities. John does show the rigor as the father when he continuously rises his voice to emphasize his dissatisfaction and the happiness and silliness as one of the lost boys when he wrinkles his face and makes grimace and takes of his wig. As Captain Hook, the actor does act like a man and due to some reason I cannot really tell, her performance somehow reminds me of John Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Besides, she also shows the concern and love of her children all the time when she acts as the mother. I am moved by the time when she repeats her tune again and again lonely in the room. The three teachers’ guest appearance in the show also make the play quite interesting, particularly Potter's appearance and the way he acts really trigger laughter among audiences when he speaks in a deep voice and pretend to be tough but is frightened when he is asked to see what it is in the room.
As a whole, I am impressed by the show. The play demonstrate an excellent performance of every actors and the background setting and the use of stage props are appropriate.
