opportunity to do that,” she adds.<br />
At Stratford, Hook will be hungry for<br />
possession of power. She will also be obsessed<br />
with Peter Pan — his youthfulness and<br />
energy. And she will be melancholy about her<br />
own aging. Condlln says she will draw on her<br />
own emotions and parallels about being a<br />
middle-aged woman in this reflective role.<br />
“When we hit middle age we are in our<br />
prime, for sure. Should we be so lucky and<br />
there is time left, we start looking behind<br />
us too. There is a beautiful section in this<br />
adaptation where Hook reveals a deep yearning<br />
for more time. I’m interested in discovering<br />
what that means particularly for a woman.”<br />
Watch for Condlln’s interplay with the<br />
ticking crocodile, and her regard for Wendy’s<br />
ambition, and dependence on Tink and Tiger<br />
Lily. This will be a not-to-miss female pirate<br />
story in a very special Neverland, reminding<br />
the audience that the complex desire for<br />
power is not tied to gender.<br />
