Peter Rabbit and Me
Theatre for Young Audiences
Written By Aurand Harris
Directed by Ed Cohn
Here is a delightfully joyous dramatization of the beloved story of Peter Rabbit. Beatrix Potter, age 13, is a poor little rich girl secluded in her top-floor nursery. She creates her own excitement by inventing and illustrating stories about her pet animals. She imagines an adventure for her favorite pet, Peter Rabbit. Beatrix transforms into Peter and acts out an early version of what becomes her famous The Tale of Peter Rabbit. All the favorite characters appear in this version: Mother Rabbit, Flopsey, Mopsey, Cottontail, the mouse, the birds and Mr. McGregor. Here is a revealing and charming glimpse of Victorian society in contrast to the antics of the uninhibited animal world. Peter Rabbit and Me is filled with humor, adventure, colorful characters and all of the magic of children's theatre.
