Synopsis: Eight year old Wendy decides that Peter, almost nine, is
“the one” for her. Driven by her not quite mystical revelation, she
proceeds to follow him through his life, reinventing herself and
reappearing each time he moves on. She’s his new neighbor, his juvenile
hall reading tutor, his teaching assistant when he finally gets himself
together enough to go to college, the new waitress at his favorite diner
and an outreach volunteer when he falls apart again. But she can never
quite reveal herself, and goaded by J.M., her unfriendly imaginary
friend, she goes to pieces. And then it’s up to Peter, all the while
dodging his hallucinatory Fury of a mother, to chase her back. The same
actors play Peter and Wendy from childhood through their forties, and
one actor (female) plays everyone else in this dark comedy in which
apples and French kisses swell to monstrous proportions.
