A Full-Length Play in Verse
Ideal for Schools & Community Theatres Production NotesThis fresh adaptation of Barrie's work endeavors to accomplish two tasks: first, to preserve the integrity of the original; and second, to reimagine it for a modern audience. Much of the plot's twist and turns have been rearranged, embellished, and/or streamlined; however, there are no radical departures from the source material.

Do you believe in fairies?
Answer wisely. There's a twist,
For any fool could tell you that the little scamps exist. A better question, then, is "Can a fairy earn your trust?" Can beating fairy hearts be found beneath their fairy dust? A treasure chest of such conundrums waits in Neverland, Where pirates raid, and mermaids wade, and days are never planned. For Wendy, John, and Michael, it's the perfect place to play. For Peter Pan, however, it's an endless holiday. The story's hero (if you haven't guessed) is Peter Pan-- The titular protagonist, but not the leading man, For leading men grew up, and Peter's vowed he never will. He rather stay the boy who hides outside the window sill And listens to the stories told about his misadventures. Other chaps can work as clerks and chew their food with dentures. Peter's home is Neverland. The weather is exquisite. Every day's a summer day... What's that? You'd like to visit? Go ahead. A star will guide you. See that one so bright? Not that one, but the second one--a little to the right. Beware the birds of prey, for they may strike without a warning. Otherwise, enjoy the journey--straight ahead till morning! |
