Anachronism Stew: Though the play takes place in 1885, the dialogue includes many anachronisms used for comedic effect, including use of the acronym 'TTFN', references to the Cadillac Escalade, Ayn Rand, Marcel Proust and Philip Glass, among others.It's also worth noting that in response to Stache asking what 'the men' call him, Smee responds with 'Nancy', which is an old-fashioned slang term for an effeminate man, but it generally referred to homosexuals.He's outright described in the text as being 'effeminate', and he acts very much Camp Gay, on top of not seeming too fond of women and being very touchy with some of the other men (most notably Smee and Lord Aster). Ambiguously Gay: Black Stache has this in spades, especially when portrayed by Christian Borle.Alas, Poor Villain: Bill Slank spends all of his stage time acting as a total Slime Ball, but right before he reveals he has a comedically over the top tragic backstory.Added Alliterative Appeal: Most of Betty Bumbrake's lines involve this.The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up begins his adventure as an abused, traumatized, and misanthropic orphan who only wants a chance to live the childhood stolen away from him by the terrible adults in his life. Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Peter Pan himself.Action Girl: Molly doesn't let her young age get in the way of adventuring, much less her gender.Peter and the Starcatcher provides examples of: Barrie's Peter Pan, including Peter, Hook, and Tinker Bell. The play provides the backstory for several characters from James M. It was nominated for 9 Tony Awards and won 5.
