His plan went horribly right.

A darkly comedic young adult reimagining of Peter Pan. In Philadelphia, when a despairing college senior processes his looming adulthood, he, along with his roommate's "perfect" fiancée, is pulled into Neverland through Peter’s seductive promises and Tinker Bell’s hidden agenda.
With no one else to trust, the college kids band together as they work to resolve matters of their own identity and existential baggage as they uncover dark secrets lurking in Neverland's past. A contemporary, darkly comedic feminist, queer not-quite sequel, not-quite adaptation, this is a play for young adult audiences about deconstructing gender roles, making authentic connections, and falling into the insidious trap of eternal adolescence.
