Join the School of Music & Theatre for its second performance of the fall, Wendy & Peter Pan.
Wendy & Peter Pan is a play by Ella Hickson, adapted from the original play and novel Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up by J.M. Barrie. The play is a re-telling of the classic children’s story which features Wendy Darling as the protagonist who flies away with Peter Pan to Neverland.
Everyone knows the classic tale of Peter Pan & the Darling children who travel with him beyond the stars to Neverland. However, this adaptation is told through Wendy Darling’s perspective as she meets Peter Pan, the boy who never grows up. She and her brothers, John and Michael, fly away with Pan and Tink to Neverland where they meet with the Lost Boys and battle the evil Captain Hook. This feminist re-working of the story prominently discovers some of the darker themes within the original story and introduces some new characters, such as Tom, a fourth child of the Darling family.
