“The Matrix” meets “Peter Pan” in Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere”. The Apopka High School Drama Department will present the TV series on the stage, adapted by Robert Kauzlaric.
Richard Mayhew is a plain man with a good heart and a dull job- an ordinary life that is forever altered on the day he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. From that moment forward he is propelled into an alternate reality that exists in a subterranean labyrinth- a dark subculture flourishing in abandoned subway stations and sewer tunnels below the city- a world far stranger and more dangerous than the only one he has ever known. He has fallen through the cracks of reality and has landed somewhere different, somewhere that is... Neverwhere.
Neil Gaiman is listed in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as one of the top ten living post-modern writers and is a prolific creator of works of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama. He is the author of many highly acclaimed and award-winning books for children and adults. Many people are familiar with his book, turned movie, Coraline.
The show will run March 9-11 at 7:30 p.m. and a Saturday matinee on March 11 at 2 p.m. in the Apopka High School Auditorium. Tickets are $7 for general admission and $10 for preferred tickets. For tickets or more information contact, erin.miner@ocps.net.
