The Boy in the Iceberg (play)

The Boy in the Iceberg is a play created by acclaimed writer Pu-On Tin. Carefully researched, the play follows the journey of The Avatar and his friends. Pu-On Tin's sources include singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war, and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage.

The play begins with Katara and Sokka finding Aang the Avatar in the iceberg. The play then progresses to Team Avatar's adventures in the Earth Kingdom, the Siege of the Northern Water Tribe, Ba Sing Se and the assault on the Fire Nation Capital. The play also plays Fire Nation propaganda and ends the play with the defeat of Aang and Zuko and the subsequent supreme victory of Ozai and the Fire Nation.

Connections

 * Katara is a well developed and endowed woman who is overly melodramatic
 * Sokka is portrayed as overly fixated on food
 * Aang is portrayed as a goofy prankster played by a woman, reminiscent of Peter Pan
 * Zuko's zealous search for the Avatar to restore his honor is referenced as a joke in the play. In the play scene referencing The Chase, Azula distracts Zuko and Team Avatar by claiming to see Zuko's honor. When Zuko is defeated in Act III of the play, he screams "honor!"
 * Uncle is fixated by cake, not tea, and is portrayed as a useless glutton
 * Toph is portrayed by a man; he also claims that his character is blind but can see by releasing a sonic wave from his mouth
 * Azula is not portrayed as evil or calculating at all
