Neverland

A post-modern fairytale of love, loneliness, and mordant self-deprecation, NEVERLAND is Dave Kiersh s ode on the teenage pining for affirmation in the stale world of suburbia, touched with the singular reminiscent poignancy of any John Hughes movie. The suburbs take on the facade of a gingerbread castle on a magical island. What happens to lost boys when they grow up, and their fantasies are no longer innocent? Believing doesn't always mean you can fly. Bad luck with girls, loneliness and the need to escape clashes with a Peter Pan sentiment in Kiersh s intricate, most complex work to date.
