Once every so often, perhaps not often enough, we hear a story that captures our imagination, transports us to another place and time, and causes each of us to stop for a brief moment to reflect on ourselves, and the world we live in. 'The Pirates of Central Park,' a contemporary adaptation of the early Twentieth Century short story, 'The Pirate of the Round Pond' by Lord Dunsany, is such a story. Told through the eyes of three New York City kids whose thirst for power and adventure leads them to pursue a career as modern day pirates in the City's famous Central Park, the story poignantly contemplates the age-old lesson of right versus wrong, and teaches us all, young and old, that there is a high price to pay for seeking personal triumph in the malicious sinking of other people's hopes, dreams - and ships!
