Peter and the Starcatcher- The Neverland & The Wasp- (Act I, Scene 9)

[@TKAWPB]

Scene 9: The Neverland & The Wasp As a hurricane stirs up in the ocean, the Wasp appears on the horizon. Molly drags the Boy on board the Neverland and revives him. Slank sees the Wasp and assumes that the British navy must have discovered the trunk swap. He prepares to outrun the Wasp, but the Boy takes the wheel and changes course. In the midst of the storm, the wheel flies off the deck and goes spinning out to sea; the Neverland lurches. Below deck, Alf is again flirting with Mrs.Bumbrake, who stops his advances in order to find Molly. On the bow of the Wasp, Stache and Smee are delighted that the Neverland is heading straight toward them. When the two ships meet, the pirates board the Neverland and fight with the sailors. In the bilge, Molly congratulates the boy for doing something big. She then dashes off to get the trunk from Slank’s cabin; the Boy realizes that there are more important things than saving his own neck and runs to help Molly. On deck, Slank and Stache square off, but just as Stache gets the upper hand, the Neverland splits in two. As Molly and Mrs. Bumbrake struggle to move the trunk, Slank intercepts them. Mrs. Bumbrake throws the ship’s cat in Slank’s face, and Alf steps in to throw Slank overboard, where he drowns. Molly asks the Boy to stall the pirates while she gets the Queen’s trunk to the Wasp, and the Boy sits on the sand trunk to “protect the treasure.” Stache encounters the Boy and tries to lure what he thinks is the Queens’ trunk out from under him. Stache offers the boy a place on his crew and tries out some Piratical names for him. One of them, Pirate Pete, strikes a chord with the Boy and he chooses a name for himself: Peter. Losing patience, Stache knocks Peter off the trunk, opens it, and realizes he’s been had. As Peter celebrates his own cleverness, Stache knocks him overboard. Lord Aster calls to Molly and tells her to bring him the trunk; Molly is torn between saving Peter and obeying her father and must think fast. Knowing that the starstuff will float, she pushes it in the water and tells Peter to float to a nearby island. Alf and Mrs. Bumbrake search for flotsam to make a raft; Ted and Prentiss cling to one another; Stache commands Smee to follow the trunk; Molly dives into the ocean and swims after Peter; Peter rides the trunk toward the island with fish swimming in its golden wake.
