Marcus Youssef, Niall Mcneil, Books, King Arthur's Night And Peter Panties: A Collaboration Across Perceptions Of Cognitive Difference, Among the first by a writer with Down syndrome, these two plays demonstrate an ability to riff and shift perspective, with disarming, hilarious, and occasionally heart-stopping results. Based on the iconic stories of King Arthur and Peter Pan, they are modern-day mash-ups that meld the fictional, the meta-fictional, and the real in ways that are counter-intuitive and absurd. And they're musical! Both feature songs by beloved Vancouver musician Veda Hille, with lyrics by the playwrights. King Arthur's Night is a musical extravaganza in which King Arthur banters with Merlin and romances Guinevere. An upside-down world ... a betrayed love ... an unwanted child ... a revolt by the subjugated masses ... a kingdom come undone. It leaves one pondering mysteries both absurd (how did the Round Table get to Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia?) and profound (what is the link between the soul and intelligence?). Peter Panties is a radical re-imagining of the Peter Pan story in which Peter Pan and Captain Hook (or is he Macbeth?) drink lattes, the Lost Boys hang with detectives from CSI, and Tinkerbell and Wendy duke it out at Skull Rock. Peter is conflicted about growing up - Fuck that! No mustache! - but he also desperately wants to have sex with Wendy and make a baby. The situation is funny, but aching; sexual exclusion and the denial of full adulthood are no laughing matters for people whose lives include Down syndrome.McNeil's singular voice and imaginative inner landscape are at the centre of these works, and in them entirely new worlds and languages are invented. Through dialogue and play, through the power of association, he subverts expectations. In these plays McNeil and Youssef challenge the classifications that neurotypicals presume must be the only legitimate means of perceiving and naming the world. King Arthur's Night : cast of [TK]. Peter Panties : cast of [TK].

King Arthur’s Night and Peter Panties are two plays with music by co-writers Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef, with songs by Veda Hille. McNeil is a professional actor whose life includes Down syndrome. Youssef is one of Canada’s leading contemporary playwrights. In these plays, based on the iconic King Arthur and Peter Pan stories, entirely new worlds and languages are invented. McNeil’s singular voice and imaginative landscape are at the centre of these works. Niall’s genius as a writer is his ability to associate, and to create through dialogue and play, with a seemingly preternatural ability to riff and shift perspective, subverting expectations. The results of this are counterintuitive, absurd, disarming, confusing, hilarious, frightening and occasionally heart-stopping. In the worlds of King Arthur’s Night and Peter Panties there is a permeable boundary, between the source material, pop culture and McNeil’s own world. McNeil has a gift for imagining links between characters and situations that defy traditional categorizations like fictional and real. In this work, McNeil and Youssef challenge the classifications “neurotypicals” assume must be the only legitimate means available to perceive and name the world. They’re not. There are worlds none of us can name or even imagine, within every one of us. That’s why we have art: to offer ourselves a glimpse. Art-making, and theatre in particular, is a natural place for people to come together to define new, radically inclusive ways of working together across historical presumtpions about diifference that have shunned and isolated many of of our fellow human beings for millenia. An assumption at the heart of this collaboration: every single one of us is very good at some things and very bad at others. No exceptions. All of us. Every single one. King Arthur’s Night and Peter Panties were commissioned and presented by Canada’s most prestigious theatre festivals (Luminato, the National Arts Centre and PuSh). They are among the first plays by a writer with Down syndrome published in this country. Paperback, Label: Talonbooks, Talonbooks, Product group: Book, Published: 2018-05-01, Studio: Talonbooks.
