Ahhh! The Neverending Story – the go-to movie for any child of the 80s. I have many fond memories of watching this film on repeat as a kid. It was considered by us all to be ‘The Greatest Movie of All Time’. That is until you watch it again as an adult… If I may pass on some wisdom, just don’t do it, keep those memories safe.
For the uninitiated, The Neverending Story is about a young boy, Bastian, who can’t seem to keep his feet on the ground. When he discovers a dusty old novel called The Neverending Story, he becomes so caught up in the mystical world of Fantasia and its fantastical creatures that the borders between story and reality begin to blur into one. Bastian goes on a journey to help save Fantasia from ‘the Nothing’, which is destroying everything that comes into its path.
The perfect way to relive your past without tainting the good times is to head over to QPAC to see their latest stage production for a fresh take on this classic fantasy.
There will be laughter, there will be tears, but most importantly you will be keeping your inner child alive without destroying all that you thought was good in the world.
