Part fantasy, part adventure story, Peter Pan is a rich confection of pirates and natives, fairies and crocodiles, and a clever, courageous, and more than a little conceited elf/boy who just doesn't want to grow up. Since Peter Pan premiered on the London stage in 1904, millions of children have snuck into the Darling bedroom to search for a missing shadow, flown off to Never Never Land to battle the nefarious Captain Hook, and applauded enthusiastically to revive a belief in fairies. Onstage at WFT, J. M. Barrie's marvelous creation will evoke all childhood's enchanted dreams and eternal truths.
