Bastian hides in the attic of his school and begins to read, and a huge adventure surges into life. Fantastica, a land of stories, is being destroyed by the Nothing.
The Childlike Empress has chosen Atreyu, a young hunter, to be the Hero of the Great Quest. Atreyu, an orphan, is an unlikely choice, but he accepts, and with his horse and companion, Artax, rides to face the menace.
On his journey he encounters Ygramul the Many, the werewolf Gmork and befriends Falkor the luck Dragon. He ventures to the Swamps of Sadness and solves the riddles of the three magic gates to meet Uyulala.
Told with all the thrills of a classic adventure, “The Neverending Story” is a gripping adventure, full of weird and wondrous creatures that will enthrall audience members.
Amber Ryan is directing the play.
