11 roles
A notorious pirate, terrorizing the seven seas in search of a worthy adversary. Heartless, and suspiciously well read. Partial to the poetical and theatrical, which causes him to behave quite flamboyantly.
A young girl and Starcatcher apprentice who is taken aboard the Neverland as precious cargo. Curious and intelligent, she is only beginning to understand the confusing romantic longings that come with her age. She will risk anything for the sake of what is right.
The schoolmaster of St. Norbert's Orphanage for Lost Boys. Mean and malodorous, he revels in keeping his boys in the dark and malnourished. May double with other characters.
Molly's nanny, a stereotypical British cad and outfitted with the duty of teaching Molly about womanhood. May double with other characters.
The vicious orphaned captain of the Neverland. Does not possess the capacity to lead anyone but himself, which puts himself constantly in disaster. Greedy enough to send boys to their doom for the chance of gaining starstuff. May double with other characters.
Black Stache's first mate. He is single-mindedly dedicated to his captain's every whim.
A seafarer, an old sea dog with a kind heart and proud of his tenure.
Molly's father, a loyal subject to the Queen. The very model of a Victorian English gentleman, he is a faithful friend and a secret Starcatcher.
Lord Aster's old school friend, the captain of the Wasp, Britain's fastest frigate. Lives with nautical bravura and heroic patriotism.
An orphan obsessed with food. A natural performer with easy wit and quite poetic language.
