Welcome my friends

Mr Barrie

Glad you could join me on this most auspicious day

Hip hip hooray

I hope you'll forgive

Mistakes and errors

We're just getting under way

Of course

We understand

You may recognize some of the scenes

You all played a part in sowing the seeds

'Cause there is magic here in my imagination

Just believe and it can be a creation

The stories we invented

All the fun that we found

Appearing here before your eyes

The world is upside down

Our characters

Nibs and Tootles

What is their motivation

Because you see I have to live and breathe my part

Drawing from my own life experience

Nibs is a lost boy

Lost good interesting

Yes

That I can use

Good right

Is he lost in an emotional purgatory

Or lost in an existential search for himself

Yes

No he's just lost

Good heavens

Where when and how

Do you have experience being lost

We're experiencing it now

Dogs

Boys

Flying

Lost

So

Frustration

Believe and it can

No

Be a creation

Actors don't fly

Because actors could die

Start by saying I can do

And then you can try

I can't

I won't

Will not

Not me

There is no magic in your imagination

I do not believe in your new creation

This disaster is all due to your play

This could be my last first day

Nauseous

Anxious

My reputation

Playing lost

Get lost serious actors cannot work this way

A positive start

The world is upside down
