Peter Pan, his real ?ctional name, is a freewspirited boy who can and over the years never grows up. He refuses to. His days are committed to lead and protect other young boys who are lost, and to live an adventure every day. However, he is also searching for a mother ?gure. They live on an island called Neverland, where Pirates and Indians also live with the Lost Boys. John M. Barrie penned this story in 1904s and this production is adapted by Craig Sodard. From time to time Peter visits the real world, and befriends children. During one such ?ight, in pursuit to find a mother for himself and the Lost Boys, he comes upon a family of 3 children. The Darlings. Peter recruits Wendy Darling, to be his ?mother" and she is the most signi?cant of them. He also brings her brothers John and Michael to Neverland at her request. It is mentioned that Wendy was the only girl who captured his attention. Peter is completely oblivious of other people?s feelings. Even his devoted fairy Tinkerbell at times. I Peter?s constant enemy is Captain James Hook, the leader of pirates and ?ctional character. Also included is a crocodile which Captain Hook is terribly afraid of, and so since the crocodile has eaten his hand which Peter cut offin a duel. Peter Pan represents youth, adventure, innocence and a somewhat lack of responsibilities. PETER PAN A two-act play adaptatiOn of the novel pyJ. M.
