 ACT ONE

SCENE ONE
SETTINGS: THE CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
CHARACTERS: WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL, AUNT
MILLICENT, NANA (THE NANNY)

WENDY sits at the edge of the bed

MICHAEL sitting on the floor. JOHN is
standing, holding his plastic hook
and wooden sword.

WENDY: Cinderella flew through the air...

far from all things ugly and ordinary.
When she landed at the ball,
she found herself...
most impertinently surrounded by pirates.
There was Alf Mason, so ugly his mother
sold him for a bottle of Muscat.
Bill Jukes,
every inch of him tattooed.
And worst of them all,
Hook, with eyes blue as forget-me-nots,
save when he clawed your belly with the
iron hook he has...
instead of a right hand,
at which time...
his eyes turn red.

JOHN: "Girlie," said Hook, “we have come for ye

glass slippers."

WENDY: Who be you to order me about and call me

girlie? Take that!

JOHN: Take that! Take that! Commoner!

WENDY: Hook came at her.

 JOHN charges at WENDY with a plastic
hook and a wooden sword.

MICHAEL: What happened then? What happened then?

WENDY: The brave Cinderella settled the matter

once and for all...
- with her revolver.

JOHN: - With her revolver?

AUNT MILLICENT enters from the other

side of the stage [THE LIVING ROOM]
carrying her luggage. MR DARLING and
MRS DARLING follow behind her.

AUNT MILLICENT: Oh, dearest George, dear Mary. Oh,

what a journey I've had.

MR DARLING: Indeed it is. Welcome to the Darlings

household, I’m sure you are eager to see
the children but please have a rest
first, Aunt Millicent.

MRS DARLING enters the Children’s

bedroom.

MRS DARLING: Bath time!

MICHAEL: Not fair! We’re just here to hear Wendy’s

story!

MR DARLING: Where is Nana? Why are you not sleeping

yet?

NANA enters.

MR DARLING: There you are. I do not hire you for

nothing, Nana.
NANA: (Grumbles silently) You don’t pay me well
enough anyhow. (Turns to the children)
Let’s go, children. Time to take your bath
and sleep.

NANA exits. JOHN and MICHAEL start to

protest.

MR DARLING: All right, all right, all right, all

right. Less noise. Let's settle down.
This is not a farm.

MRS DARLING: Bravo, George. Bravo.

JOHN: Wendy hasn’t finished yet.

MICHAEL: Wendy must finish the story.

JOHN: Cecco, who carved his name on the governor

at Goa.

MICHAEL: Noodler, with his hands on backwards.

AUNT MILLICENT: Heavens.

MICHAEL: Hook!

AUNT MILLICENT: Hook?

JOHN: Hook, whose eyes turn red as he guts you.

AUNT MILLICENT: Upon my soul, how children are

educated nowadays.

WENDY stands.

WENDY: I'm afraid I am not learned at all, Aunt.

But I do know a thing or two about pirates.
My unfulfilled ambition is to write a
great novel in three parts about my
adventures.

AUNT MILLICENT: What adventures?

WENDY: I've yet to have them, but they will be
perfectly thrilling.

AUNT MILLICENT: But, child, novelists are not highly

thought of in good society. And there
is nothing so difficult to marry as a
novelist.

WENDY: Marry?

MR DARLING: Marry?

JOHN & MICHAEL: Marry?

MRS DARLING: But, Aunt, Wendy is not yet thirteen.

AUNT MILLICENT: Walk toward me, dear, that I may

appraise you.

MR DARLING: Go on. Walk to your auntie. Stand up

straight.

JOHN and MICHAEL giggling.

MR DARLING: (To John and Michael) Stop it!

AUNT MILLICENT: Turn around.

WENDY: (Half giggling) Shh.

AUNT MILLICENT: Mm, yes. Oh, it's quite as I

expected. Wendy possesses a woman's
chin.

WENDY touches her chin.

AUNT MILLICENT: Have you not noticed? Observe her

mouth.

EVERYONE in the room observing WENDY.

AUNT MILLICENT: There, hidden in the right-hand
corner, is that a kiss?

JOHN: (Gasps) A kiss?

MICHAEL: (Whispers loudly) Like Mother's kiss.

AUNT MILLICENT: A hidden kiss.

WENDY: But what is it for?

AUNT MILLICENT: It is for the greatest adventure of

all. They who want to find it have
slipped in and out of heaven.

WENDY: Find what?

AUNT MILLICENT: The one the kiss belongs to.

MR DARLING: My Wendy, a woman.

AUNT MILLICENT: Almost a woman.

MRS DARLING: Well, let’s not overthink about this

now. Come children, Nana is waiting
for you.

MR DARLING and AUNT MILLICENT leaves

the bedroom. WENDY and MRS DARLING
exit the stage.

AUNT MILLICENT: She must spend less time with her

brothers and more time with me. She
must have her own room. A young
lady's room.

JOHN and MICHAEL eavesdrop.

MICHAEL: No...(John covers Michael’s mouth)

MR DARLING: Isn’t it too soon for her to be

considered as a woman?
AUNT MILLICENT: George, the daughter of a clerk
cannot hope to marry as well as that
of a manager. You must attend more
parties, make small talk with your
superiors at the bank. Wit is very
fashionable at the moment.

MR DARLING: (Nervously) Wit.

Lights off.

SCENE TWO
SETTINGS: THE CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
CHARACTERS: WENDY, NANA, PETER PAN’S
SHADOW.

Lights on (dimly); a spotlight

focuses on PETER PAN’S SHADOW [using
SHADOW SCREEN].
PETER PAN’S SHADOW comes into the
stage sneaking on WENDY while she is
sleeping. NANA comes in to check on
WENDY [spotlight on NANA], PETER
PAN’S SHADOW sneaks into the drawer.
NANA sees the drawer open and closes
it.

NANA: Rise and shine, dear. It’s time for school.

WENDY: Again? (Yawns) I’m so tired for school.

NANA: What do you mean again? Today’s Monday and

you’ll have more Mondays in your life till
you die. (Sighs) I wish I was a child like
you too, Wendy. It was easier in those
times.
WENDY: (smiles) Father wants me to stay with Aunt
Millicent. John and Michael overheard them
talking the other day.

NANA: My, that would be wonderful. Thinking of

boarding school, is he?

WENDY: But I don’t want to go. It’ll be tedious

and unadventurous.

NANA: That is life, dear. Everybody needs to

grow up.

NANA exits. WENDY wakes up from the

bed and notices a silhouette of a boy
flying out of the window. But as she
went to the window to check there
were no sign of anyone.

Lights off.

SCENE THREE
SETTINGS: THE LIVING ROOM
CHARACTERS: WENDY, MR DARLING, BANK
OFFICER, SIR EDWARD
MR DARLING walks nervously in front
of the stage, practicing his speech
for the guests. MRS DARLING and NANA
prepares the room.

MR DARLING: (Practicing) I say, it's nice weather

we're having.

MR DARLING stops for a moment and

tries to wear his tie.
MR DARLING: Oh I can’t get everything done right! My
tie is playing tricks on me – like it
has its own mind!

MRS DARLING walks towards MR DARLING

and fixing his tie.

MRS DARLING: Calm down, darling. It’s just a dinner.

MR DARLING: A dinner where I would ruin it.

MRS DARLING: Don’t be silly. You will do great.

(Finishes fixing his tie) Look here, you
look handsome as ever.

MR DARLING: (Breathes deeply) What would I do

without you?

MRS DARLING: Most probably married with the wrong

woman.

MR DARLING smiles but his face

changes with the rings from the
doorbell. MRS DARLING opens the door
for SIR EDWARD and BANK OFFICER. They
shake hands and sit on the couches.

MR DARLING: (Does just like he practices) I say,

it’s nice weather we’re having.

SIR EDWARD: Indeed it is. (Looks around) What a

nice place you have here!

BANK OFFICER: (Looks at MRS DARLING) And a nice

lady as a company.

MR DARLING: (Laughs nervously) I am nothing but

fortunate.

NANA brings a tray of drinks into the

LIVING ROOM. However, WENDY, JOHN and
MICHAEL run from outside and stumble
 upon NANA. The tray falls down on SIR
EDWARD and BANK OFFICER.

Lights off.

SCENE FOUR
SETTING: THE CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
CHARACTERS: MR DARLING, MRS DARLING,
AUNT MILLICENT, WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL

WENDY, JOHN and MICHAEL stand at one

corner, look down at the floor
apologetically. MR DARLING is furious
and staring at them.

MR DARLING: I have been humiliated! No! I must

become a man that children fear and
adults respect, or we shall all end up
in the street!

MRS DARLING: George, not so loud.

AUNT MILLICENT: The neighbours will hear.

MR DARLING: Let them hear. Let the whole world know!

(Turns to WENDY) Tomorrow you begin your
lesson, with Aunt Millicent. I’m sending
you to the boarding school. It’s time
for you to grow up!

MR DARLING and AUNT MILLICENT exit.

MRS DARLING: Come dear, its bedtime.

MICHAEL: (Tucks into his bed) Mother? Can anything

harm us after the night-lights are switched
on?
MRS DARLING: No, precious. They are the eyes a mother
leaves behind to guard her children.

WENDY: Mother, must I go to the boarding school?

MICHAEL: Please, Mother. Don’t let Wendy go.

JOHN: Yes, Mother, Wendy doesn’t have to go. She

can study in the school here.

MICHAEL: Please, Mother.

MRS DARLING: I’m sorry, dear. But your father has

made his mind. (Kisses WENDY’S head)
Don’t be mad to your father, Wendy. Your
father is a brave man but sometimes he’s
forgotten certain things.

WENDY: Father? Brave?

MRS DARLING: There are many different kinds of

bravery. There's the bravery of thinking
of others before oneself. Now, your
father has never brandished a sword nor
fired a pistol, thank heavens. But he's
made many sacrifices for his
family...and put away many dreams.

MICHAEL: Where did he put them?

MRS DARLING: He put them in a drawer. And sometimes,

late at night, we take them out and
admire them. But it gets harder and
harder to close the drawer. He does. And
that is why he is brave.

MRS DARLING stands up and tuck them

all in. They say their goodnights and
she exits the stage.

Dim the lights.

 ACT TWO

SCENE ONE
SETTINGS: THE CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
CHARACTERS: WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL,
TINKERBELL, PETER PAN AND PAN’S SHADOW

[Using SHADOW SCREEN], spotlight

focuses on TINKERBELL. She comes in
the children bedroom through the
window, looking for PETER PAN’S
SHADOW. She goes under the bed,
messing up the kids’ toys, opening
the cupboards, messing the book racks
waking WENDY up. TINKERBELL hides.
WENDY wakes up and looks around
confused then goes back to sleep.
TINKERBELL flies to the drawer where
the PETER PAN’S SHADOW is kept and
trying to release it.
PETER PAN enters the stage through
the window [spotlight on him].

PETER PAN: Have you found my shadow, Tink?

TINKERBELL replies and leads PETER to

the drawer. PETER opens the drawer
and the SHADOW jumps out. In his
haste, TINKERBELL is trapped inside
the drawer.

PETER PAN: Aha! (Trying to catch the shadow’s legs)

Come here, you!

PETER struggles to catch his SHADOW.

[Using SHADOW SCREEN]

PETER PAN: I got you. Ha!

 [Lights on]
PETER catches his SHADOW and tries to
stick it back to his feet by using
soap. He gets frustrated and starts
crying as the SHADOW makes fun of him.
WENDY got up from bed.
WENDY: Boy, why are you crying?

PETER flies backwards in surprise and

knocks his head on the wall.

WENDY: (Bewildered) You can fly!

PETER stands in front of WENDY and

bows politely at her. WENDY bows back.

WENDY: What is your name?

PETER PAN: What is your name?

WENDY: Wendy Moira Angela Darling.

PETER PAN: Peter... Pan.

WENDY: Where do you live?

PETER PAN: Second to the right and then straight on

till morning.

WENDY: They put that on the letters?

PETER PAN: Don't get any letters.

WENDY: But your mother gets letters.

PETER PAN: Don't have a mother.

WENDY: No wonder you were crying.

PETER PAN: I wasn't crying about mothers. I was
crying because I can't get the shadow to
stick. (Walking to the shadow and trying
to stick his shadow back to his feet again)
And I wasn't crying!

WENDY: I could sew it on for you.

WENDY gets up to get a sewing set.

She comes back to PETER and his
SHADOW.

WENDY: This may hurt a little.

WENDY sew PETER’S SHADOW as he is

wailing in pain.

WENDY: Might I borrow your knife? Thank you.

She cuts the thread off. PETER then

testing his shadow on a synchronising
movement.

PETER PAN: Oh, the cleverness of me!

WENDY: Of course, I did nothing.

PETER PAN: Aw, you did a little.

WENDY: A little? (Sulking and returns to bed)

Good night.

PETER PAN: Wendy? (Stands beside her bed) One girl is

worth more than 20 boys.

WENDY: You really think so?

PETER PAN: I live with boys... the Lost Boys. They

are well named.

WENDY: Who are they?

PETER PAN: Children who fall out of their prams when
the nanny is not looking. If they are not
claimed in seven days, they are sent to
the Neverland.

WENDY: Are there girls too?

PETER PAN: Girls are much too clever to fall out of

their prams.

WENDY: Peter, it is perfectly lovely the way you

talk about girls. I should like to give
you...a... kiss.

PETER lets his hand out.

WENDY: Don't you know what a kiss is?

PETER PAN: I shall know when you give me one.

WENDY gives him a thimble.

PETER PAN: I suppose I'm to give you one now.

WENDY: If you like.

WENDY leaning forward towards PETER

expecting a kiss but PETER gives her
a small piece wood from the forest
instead.

WENDY: Thank you. (Slipping it on her necklace)

How old are you, Peter?

PETER PAN: Quite young.

WENDY: Don't you know?

PETER PAN: I ran away. (Proudly) One night, I heard

my mother and father talking of what I was
to be when I became a man. So I ran away
to Kensington Gardens and I met Tink.
WENDY: Same with me. My father wanted to send me
to the boarding school. But who’s Tink?

PETER PAN: Tinkerbell. She's my fairy.

WENDY: But there's no such thing as...

PETER running up to WENDY and closes

her mouth before she could finish.

PETER PAN: Don't say that. Every time somebody says

that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead.
And I shall never find her if she's dead.

WENDY: You don't mean to tell me there's a fairy

in this room.

PETER PAN: Of course. (Looks around him) Where is she?

TINKERBELL knocks on the drawer

loudly.

PETER PAN: She’s inside the drawer! (He opens it and

TINKERBELL flies out angrily) Don’t be mad
at me. I’m sorry I didn’t realize it.

WENDY: Why have you come here, Peter?

PETER PAN: We come to listen to the stories. I like

the one about the prince who couldn't find
the lady who wore glass slippers.

WENDY: Cinderella. Peter, he found her and they...

and they...lived happily ever after.

PETER PAN: I knew it!

WENDY: Peter. I should like to give you...a...

thimble.

PETER PAN: What's that?

 WENDY leans forward trying to give
PETER a kiss but TINKERBELL flies
furiously and pulls WENDY’s hair.

PETER PAN: Tink! Tink! Tink, no!

TINKERBELL flies besides PETER and

whispers something to him.

PETER PAN: She's not very polite. She says if you try
to give me a thimble again, she'll kill
you.

WENDY: Oh. And I had supposed fairies to be

charming.

PETER PAN: Tinkerbell isn’t all bad. Sometimes she’s

all good. But fairies are so small they
only have room for one feeling at a time.

PETER bows down and runs to the

window and is about to fly.
WENDY: Peter, don't go.

PETER PAN: I have to tell the others about Cinderella.

WENDY: But I know lots of stories, stories I

could tell the boys.

PETER PAN: Come with me.

WENDY: I... I cannot fly.

PETER PAN: I'll teach you. I'll teach you to ride the
wind's back. And away we go.

WENDY: Could John and Michael come too? Michael!

Michael! (Waking Michael up) John! John!
(Waking John up)

JOHN: (Wakes up in daze) I didn't do it.

WENDY: There is a boy here who is to teach us to
fly.

MICHAEL: (Rubbing his eyes) Who?

PETER flies out of the windows,

beckoning WENDY to come.

PETER PAN: Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come

with me where you'll never, never have to
worry about grown-up things again.

WENDY looks behind her; thinking

quietly. Should she just leave
everything behind? But WENDY is a
curious child and to take PETER’s
hand would be her biggest adventure.
JOHN and MICHAEL are still in daze;
looking at each other.

WENDY: (Hesitates) Never is an awfully long time.

After a while, WENDY takes PETER’s

hand and both of them fly out from
the bedroom.

JOHN and MICHAEL: Wendy?

Lights off.

SHADOW PLAY of PETER PAN, WENDY, JOHN

* A-pirating we go *

SMEE: Devil bird! (Wakes up after being

disturbed by the captain’s parrot)

HOOK is sleeping on a table. SMEE

walks up to him, holding a clock.

SMEE: Cap'n? Cap'n? As I was sitting wide-eyed

on my watch, I noticed it was wintertime
on the water and springtime on the shore.
I say to meself, "That's early for spring
to be astir. Spring's not due till: 3
p.m." Check the time yourself, Cap'n, and
then tell...

HOOK smashes SMEE’s clock with his

hook.

HOOK: I was dreaming, Smee, of Pan.

SMEE: Pan, Cap'n?

HOOK: And in my dream, I was a magnanimous

fellow...full of forgiveness. I thanked
Pan...for cutting off my hand...and for
 giving me this fine hook...for
disembowelling and ripping throats...and
other such homely uses...as combing my
hair.

SMEE: So, Pan did you a favour then, Cap'n?

HOOK: A favour? He threw my hand to a crocodile.

The beast liked it so much; it's followed
me ever since, licking its lips for the
rest of me. You call that a favour?

SMEE: No. No. No. No. (Stammers, then Hook fixes

Smee’s glasses) Thank you, Cap’n.

HOOK: Thank God, the beast swallowed a clock. If

it wasn't for the ticking, it'd have had
me by now (Turns to SMEE) Why did you wake
me up, Smee?

SMEE: Like I said, Cap'n, the ice is melting.

The sun is out. And the flowers are all in
bloom.

HOOK: He's back.

WENDY holds her head; indicating that
she has a headache. The bushes/tress
are what separating them. They stop
when SLIGHTLY notices WENDY and
opening his spyglass.

CURLY: What is it?

SLIGHTLY: (On a spyglass) It’s a large white bird.

Quite ugly too. No! (THE LOST BOYS
scramble for the spyglass)

THE LOST BOYS: Give it to me!

SLIGHTLY: When Peter's away, I'm in charge! I get to

look through the spyglass. It’s coming
closer. (TINKERBELL appears in front of
the spyglass). My God, I've gone blind!
I'm blind. I've gone blind. I'm blind.

NIBS: Hello, Tink. Where's Peter?

TWINS: Hello, Tink.

SLIGHTLY (In the background): She's blinded me!

TOOTLES: Hello, Tink.

CURLY: Hello, Tink.

TOOTLES: Any more news of Cinderella?

TINKERBELL whispers in Tootles’ ear.

TOOTLES: Tink says the bird's called a..."Wendy."

And Peter wants us to... Shoot it down.

SLIGHTLY: Well, we have our orders. Shoot the Wendy

bird.

THE LOST BOYS: Aye, aye! (Preparing their bows)

SLIGHTLY: Ready? Aim! Fire!

THE LOST BOYS: Three, two, one! (Fires away)

One of the arrows hits WENDY on her

chest and she falls off to the stage.

TOOTLES: I got it. I got it!

THE LOST BOYS run towards WENDY

hurriedly and eagerly. When they
realize its WENDY, they gasp.

SLIGHTLY: That is no bird.

CURLY: It is a lady.

TWINS: And Tootles...

THE LOST BOYS EXCEPT TOOTLES: Tootles has killed her.

PETER PAN jumps out onto the stage.

PETER PAN: Ha! I'm back! Great news. I know what
happened to Cinderella. She defeated the
pirates. There was stabbing, slicing,
torturing, bleeding and they lived happily
ever after.

SLIGHTLY: Well, that's a relief, I must say.

PETER PAN: Greater news! I have brought you, she who

told of Cinderella. She is to tell us
stories! She is...

SLIGHTLY: Dead.

CURLY: Tragic.

NIBS: Awful. Good shot, though.

PETER PAN: (Furious and looks at THE LOST BOYS) Whose

arrow?

TOOTLES: Mine, Peter. Strike, Peter. Strike true.

As PETER about to strike TOOTLES with

the arrow, WENDY moves in her sleep.

CURLY: The Wendy lives!

PETER took WENDY’s necklace from her

neck.

PETER PAN: It's my kiss. My kiss saved her.

SLIGHTLY: I remember kisses. Let me see it. Aye,

that is a kiss. A powerful thing. Let us
carry her down to the house.

PETER PAN: Hands.

THE LOST BOYS put out their hands.

SLIGHTLY: They're a bit dirty. She must stay here
and die.

PETER PAN: No!

SLIGHTLY: Oh, how could I have thought that? Stupid.

Sorry.

PETER PAN: We shall build a house around her.

THE LOST BOYS cheer and exit the

stage.

PETER PAN: With a chimney! And a door knocker! And

windows!

TWINS came back on stage and whispers

to PETER.

TWINS: Tink did it.

PETER PAN: Tinkerbell? Oh, Tinkerbell? Was it you,

Tink?

TINKERBELL nods guiltily.

PETER PAN: Then I am your friend no more.

TINKERBELL ‘gasps’ and flies off the

stage.

THE LOST BOYS come in and bring the

tent. They decorate the tent with
plants/leaves and place it down near

WENDY wakes up in the commotion. She
sees THE LOST BOYS and is shocked but
calms herself down. She holds her
head; it feels painful all of sudden.
THE LOST BOYS look at her quietly and
turn to SLIGHTLY.

SLIGHTLY: First impressions are very, very important.

Here she is. Look loveable. Wendy lady, for
you we built this house with a door knocker.

TOOTLES: But without a chimney.

SLIGHTLY: Well, we can’t all have everything. Ready

boys? One, two, three.

THE LOST BOYS kneel in front of WENDY.

THE LOST BOYS: Please be our mother.

WENDY: Oh. Well, it is frightfully fascinating.

But, you see, I've had no real experience.

TWIN 1: Do you tell stories?

WENDY: Yes.

TWIN 2: Then you're perfect.

WENDY: Very well. I will do my best.

THE LOST BOYS cheering. Then they

bring WENDY to their hideout (which
is only besides WENDY’S HOUSE)
SLIGHTLY: Sorry about the arrow shooting. We must be
cautious. There are some nasty characters
about.

NIBS: If Hook discovers our hideout, he'll gut

us.

SLIGHTLY: How dreadful!

TWINS: Oh, we live for it!

WENDY: But I...

NIBS: Time to meet Father, Mother.

SLIGHTLY: So looking forward to being your son.

PETER PAN: Welcome, Mother. Discipline. That's what

fathers believe in. You must spank the
children immediately before they try to
kill you again. In fact, we should kill
them.

PETER chases THE LOST BOYS around the

house.

WENDY: Peter! Father! I agree that they are

perfectly horrid, but kill them and they
shall think themselves important.

SLIGHTLY: So important.

CURLY: And unique.

WENDY: I suggest something far more dreadful.

(Wendy picks up a container and fills it
with water) Medicine. It's the most beastly,
disgusting stuff. The sticky, sweet kind.
THE LOST BOYS: (Begging to PETER) Kill us, please!
Kill us, please!

WENDY: Littlest first. Michael? Michael. John. My

brothers!

PETER PAN: They'll sweetly drown you if you get too

close.

WENDY looks at them; the MERMAIDS

glance at her and snicker. They ‘swim’
away.
[CROCODILE THEME is heard faintly at
the background]

WENDY: Hmm? What is the sound? Tick tock tick

tock... is it a clock?

PETER PAN: (Holding WENDY’s hand) Don’t make a sound,

Wendy.

PETER and WENDY hide behind a tree as

HOOK, holding his rum, enters in
another part of the stage.

HOOK: One day I’ll be revenged on that wretched

boy; he’ll be skewered on this hook!

As HOOK tries to drink his rum, TIGER

LILY emerges from another tree and a
 fight ensues between HOOK and her.
SMEE and THE PIRATES appear from the
other side and raises their pistols
behind her.

SMEE: I think you’d better stop right there,

Missy; if the hook don’t get you... this
bullet will...

TIGER LILY hesitates and HOOK disarms

her.

HOOK: Princess Tiger Lily. (THE PIRATES grab her

and restrains her from going away) We
search as ever for Peter Pan and his
secret hideout. Him and the Lost Boys.
Have you seen them?

TIGER LILY: (Spits on the floor) Untie me you savage!

HOOK: But no, my Redskin Princess, if you value

your life, this is your chance of saving
it.

SMEE: Aren’t you going to do her in, Captain?

She nearly killed you.

HOOK: I realize I am within my rights of

dispatching her, Smee, but I am prepared
to be merciful. If only she’s willing to
tell us where Peter Pan is.

TIGER LILY: I would rather die! (Spits on HOOK)

THE PIRATES gasp.

HOOK: (Wiping his face off) Then death shall it

be.
SCENE TWO
SETTINGS: MERMAIDS’ LAGOON
CHARACTERS: CAPTAIN HOOK, SMEE, PIRATES,
PETER PAN, WENDY, TIGER LILY
THE PIRATES drags TIGER LILY and tie
her at the rocks near the stage.

HOOK: Like all surprise attacks, it must be

conducted improperly.

SMEE: (To TIGER LILY) Any last words?

TIGER LILY: I am the Redskin Princess. I do not beg

for my life. But I will be avenged!

HOOK: (Smiles sarcastically) Come on, Peter Pan.

Fly to the rescue, and then I'll shoot you
right through your noble intentions.

HOOK exits the stage. PETER turns to

WENDY.

PETER PAN: I brought these. Can you use it? (PETER

brings out a sword and tests WENDY’s skill)
Promise me one thing. Leave Hook to me.

WENDY: I promise.

PETER PAN: Wait here for my signal.

WENDY: Wait here? Peter!

PETER sneaks in near the rocks where

TIGER LILY is tied.

PETER PAN: (Imitating Hook’s voice) Mr. Smee?

SMEE: That you, Cap'n?

PETER PAN: Brimstone and gall, man. What do you think
you're doing?

SMEE: Well, we've put the children on the rope,

Cap'n, like you said.

PETER PAN: Set 'em free!

SMEE: Set 'em free? Well, what about your trap?

PETER PAN: Set them free, or I'll plunge my hook in

you.

SMEE: I don't know what he wants with ‘er. I'm

just a blithering idiot, aren't I? Chain
‘er up. Let ‘er go.

TIGER LILY exits. WENDY watches from

afar and sees JOHN and MICHAEL walk
towards her.

WENDY: John! Michael! My brothers! (She pats

their heads) Where have you been?

MICHAEL: We’re almost got caught but we ran away!

JOHN: Are you okay, Wendy? (Staring at her) Is

your head still aching?

WENDY: (Perplexed) How do you know I have a

headache...?

One of the canons is fired;

disrupting WENDY. She looks at THE
PIRATES and PETER who is still hiding.
HOOK enters.

HOOK: Mr. Smee?

SMEE: Aye, Cap'n?

HOOK: Any sign of him?

SMEE: No, Cap'n.

HOOK: Where is the princess?

SMEE: It's all right, Cap'n. We let ‘er go.

HOOK: You what?

SMEE: We let 'er go.

HOOK: (Laughs; SMEE and THE PIRATES laugh too)

You... let... her... go.

PETER PAN: (Imitates Hook’s voice) Mr Smee!

HOOK and THE PIRATES are alarmed.

HOOK: Who are you, stranger?

PETER PAN: I am James Hook, captain of the Jolly

Roger.

HOOK: If you are Hook, then who am I?

PETER PAN: You are a codfish.

HOOK: Tell me, Hook, have you another name?

PETER PAN: Aye.

HOOK: Vegetable?

PETER PAN: No.

HOOK: Mineral?

PETER PAN: No.

HOOK: Animal?

PETER PAN: No.

HOOK: Man?

PETER PAN: No!

HOOK: Boy?

PETER PAN: Yes!

HOOK: Ordinary boy?

PETER PAN: No!

HOOK: Wonderful boy?

PETER PAN: Yes! Do you give up?

HOOK: Yes!

PETER PAN: I am...

HOOK: History. (Shoots Peter)

WENDY: Peter, look out!

BILL JUKES: There he is!

HOOK: It is your requiem mass, boy.

A clashing of sword and dagger ensues

between PETER and HOOK.

PETER PAN: Ready to lose the other one?

HOOK: Not this time.

In another part of the stage, BILL

JUKES enters and tries to catch WENDY.

BILL JUKES: Ooh-ooh, girlie.

WENDY: Who are you to call me girlie?

 WENDY fights BILL JUKES off with her
sword. JOHN and MICHAEL cheer her up
from behind; but they don’t do
anything at all. Finally BILL JUKES
runs away after TIGER LILY comes in.

HOOK: If I were you, I'd give up.

PETER PAN: If you were me, I'd be ugly.

HOOK: No! (Hook catches Peter) Ready? (Throws

Peter) Fire!

PETER is cornered with THE PIRATES

around him.

HOOK: And now, Peter Pan, you shall die.

PETER PAN: To die will be an awfully big adventure.

CROCODILE THEME as the cue of THE

CROCODILE to enter.

HOOK: Oh, no.

PETER runs off with WENDY and TIGER

LILY as THE PIRATES are scared and
frantically exit the stage.

HOOK: You.

THE CROCODILE chases after CAPTAIN

HOOK.

HOOK: Smee! Smee! (Hiding behind a rock)

SMEE: It's all a bit tragic, really, isn't it?

Lights off.
SCENE THREE
SETINGS: THE RED INDIAN CAMP
CHARACTERS: TIGER LILY, JOHN, MICHAEL,
PETER PAN, WENDY, RED INDIAN CHIEF, RED
INDIANS

Lights on. THE RED INDIANS enter,

change the setting into THE RED
INDIAN CAMP.
After the setting is set, THE RED
INDIANS exit leaving only THE RED
INDIAN CHIEF, TIGER LILY, WENDY, JOHN
and MICHAEL.
PETER enters.

TIGER LILY: Peter!

PETER PAN: Tiger Lily! Are you alright?

TIGER LILY: Thanks to you, Peter Pan. You saved my

life!

PETER PAN: It was nothing...though I was very clever!

CHIEF: Peter Pan – you mighty warrior!

PETER PAN: Thank you Chief Squatting Cow...I know.

CHIEF: You prove worthy of great honour – you

become blood brother of Blackfoot! When
sacred rites have been performed, you be
known as...Big Chief Flying Eagle. Then
you can take Blackfoot squaw to be your
wife.

WENDY: I don’t think that’s a very good idea...

TIGER LILY: I do!

PETER PAN: I swear I will defend this tribe until my
last breath.

CHIEF: Good! Now let’s the ceremony begins!

MUSIC THEME plays; THE BIG DANCE

BREAK ensues.
While all of them are dancing and
singing, JOHN and MICHAEL dancing
beside the stage alone.
WENDY looks at them from afar while
holding her head; the headache is
getting worse.
The dance ends as RED INDIAN CHIEF
presenting his headdress to PETER PAN.

Lights off.

SCENE FOUR
SETTINGS: FAIRY FOREST
CHARACTERS: WENDY, PETER, CAPTAIN HOOK,
TINKERBELL
WENDY sees PETER stands alone at the
centre of the stage. She walks
towards her.

WENDY: Peter? I have something to tell you. I’ve

had a headache since I land here. I
think...

PETER PAN: Shh. (He lets his hand out to WENDY)

WENDY: Peter?

WENDY and PETER start to dance at the

FAIRY FOREST [spotlight on them] with
 all the fairies flying around.
Another spotlight is on HOOK as he
spies on them behind a tree.

HOOK: Evil day. Yet he has found himself a,

Wendy? And Hook is all alone.

TINKERBELL appears beside him. She

whispers something to him.

HOOK: You too? Banished? Tsk, tsk. The dog. I

think you and I should talk.

HOOK and TINKERBELL exit. The light

is on PETER and WENDY again.

PETER PAN: Wendy? It's only make-believe, isn't it?

That you and I are...

WENDY: Oh. Yes.

PETER PAN: Wendy? You see, it would make me seem so

old to be a real father.

WENDY: Peter, what are your real feelings?

PETER PAN: Feelings?

WENDY: What do you feel? Happiness? Sadness?

Jealousy?

HOOK enters the stage silently.

PETER PAN: Jealousy? Tink!

WENDY: Anger?

PETER PAN: Anger.

A branch breaks. HOOK stops at his

steps.
PETER PAN: (Looking around cautiously) Hook.

WENDY: Love?

PETER PAN: Love? (The dance stops)

WENDY: Love.

PETER PAN: I have never heard of it.

WENDY: I think you have, Peter. I daresay you've

felt it yourself for something or, someone.

PETER PAN: Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

WENDY: Peter.

PETER PAN: Why do you spoil everything! We have fun,

don't we? I taught you to fight and to fly.
What more could there be?

WENDY: There is so much more.

PETER PAN: What? What else is there?

WENDY: I don't know. I think it becomes clearer

when you grow up.

PETER PAN: Well, I will not grow up! You cannot make
me! I will banish you like Tinkerbell!

WENDY: I will not be banished!

PETER PAN: Then go home. Go home and grow up. And

take your feelings with you!

PETER runs off the stage. WENDY tries

to follow her but stops because of
her headache.

WENDY: Peter! Peter, come back! Peter!

Lights off.
 ACT FOUR

SCENE ONE
SETTINGS: THE PIRATE SHIP
CHARACTERS: WENDY, SMEE, CAPTAIN HOOK
THE PIRATES, after finish setting the
set, exit the stage. HOOK sitting on
the table, singing. WENDY enters from
the other side of the stage.

HOOK: (Singing)
* Avast belay the English brig *
* We took and quickly sank *
* And for a warning to the crew *
* We made them walk the plank *
* Yo ho, yo ho the frisky plank *
* He walks along it so *

SMEE: Welcome. Shh, shh.

HOOK: (Singing)
* Till it goes down and you's go down *
* To tooral looral loo. *

SMEE: Wrote it himself.

HOOK: Wendy, darling. Please, have a seat.

WENDY sits on the chair in front of

him.

SMEE: Muscat, miss? (Offers to WENDY)

WENDY: I'm a little girl.

SMEE: Rum, then?

WENDY: No, thank you.

HOOK: I'm told you ran away from home.

WENDY: I... I had never thought of it that way. I
suppose I did.

HOOK: How wonderful.

WENDY: My parents wanted me to grow up.

HOOK: Growing up is such a barbarous business,

full of inconvenience and pimples. (Looks
at the audiences) A whole lot of them.

WENDY: Things were simpler when I was younger.

HOOK: And then the mess starts, the feelings

come. Pan is so lucky to be untroubled by
them. Oh, no. He cannot love. It's part of
the riddle of his being.

SMEE: (Offering WENDY) Cigar?

WENDY shakes her head to SMEE but

stops abruptly; she touches her head
slightly. HOOK notices it.

HOOK: Say, if you stayed here any longer, the

pain will go away.

WENDY: (Confused) What?

HOOK: Oh, nothing. It doesn't have to be this

way. Didst thou ever want to be a pirate,
my hearty?

WENDY: I once thought of calling myself, Red-

Handed Jill.

HOOK: Oh, what a marvellous name! That's what

we'll call you if you join us.

WENDY: But what would my duties be? I could not

be expected to pillage.
HOOK: Do you, um, by any chance, tell stories?

THE PIRATES enter and HOOK calls them

to gather around WENDY. She looks
uncomfortable at first but then
starts to tell a story to them.

WENDY: And they all lived happily...ever...after.

SMEE: Bravo!

BILL JUKES: Bravissimo!

WENDY: Might I have time to consider your

generous offer?

HOOK: Absolutely. Of course, you must. My

fellows will return you whence they found
you. None of my crew will follow you. I
swear it. My new obsession is you, not
dear Peter Pan or his whereabouts.

WENDY: (Thinking out loud) What would Mother

think of me becoming a pirate?

HOOK: Until we meet again.

WENDY exits the stage; HOOK orders

THE PIRATES to follow her.

Lights off.

SCENE TWO
SETTINGS: THE LOST BOYS’ HIDEOUT
CHARACTERS: PETER PAN, THE LOST BOYS, JOHN,
MICHAEL, WENDY
 WENDY enters the stage; THE LOST BOYS
are sleeping. JOHN and MICHAEL are
seen to play far from them.

WENDY: John.

JOHN: I wasn't doing anything!

WENDY: John!

THE LOST BOYS wake up from their

sleep, watching WENDY.

JOHN: Yes?

WENDY: What is your father's name?

SLIGHTLY: My father's name? Peter.

WENDY turns to THE LOST BOYS. Then to

JOHN and MICHAEL again.

WENDY: Michael, who is your mother?

TOOTLES: Michael?

MICHAEL: You are my mother, Wendy.

THE LOST BOYS: You are our mother, Wendy.

SLIGHTLY: And isn't she just first-class?

WENDY doesn’t receive the answers she

wanted but before she does anything,
PETER rushes in and calls THE LOST
BOYS.

PETER PAN: There's a new pirate aboard the Jolly

Roger. The Mermaids say she is called Red-
Handed Jill.

SLIGHTLY: Another adventure, boys. Come on!

 THE LOST BOYS stand up and get their
weapons ready.

TOOTLES: Red-Handed Jill? She sounds quite fearsome!

PETER PAN: Fearsome? She's just a storyteller.

WENDY: (Offended) Just a storyteller? Red-Handed

Jill may be a brave swordsman.

PETER and THE LOST BOYS laugh at her.

SLIGHTLY: A girl like her?

PETER PAN: Brave or not, I shall run her through!

WENDY: Then ready yourself, Peter Pan, for I am

Red-Handed Jill.

TOOTLES: Mother!

PETER PAN: Wendy?

WENDY: 'Tis true, Peter. I have been invited to

piracy.

TWIN 1: But, Mother, Hook is a fiend.

TWIN 2: And a bounder.

WENDY: On the contrary, I find Captain Hook to be

a man of feeling.

PETER fights WENDY with his dagger

while WENDY with her sword. THE LOST
BOYS stand up and watching the fight.

TOOTLES: Mother and Father are fighting again.

WENDY: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient.

PETER PAN: How am I deficient?

WENDY: You're just a boy.

NIBS: Are you really to be a pirate, Mother?

WENDY: No. We are going home.

THE LOST BOYS gasp and ask many

questions at once.

TWINS: Home?

SLIGHTLY: Leave Neverland?

THE LOST BOYS are disagreeing at once.

WENDY pulls JOHN and MICHAEL close.
THE LOST BOYS turns around to WENDY
and look at PETER in confusion.

WENDY: We must. We have forgotten our parents. We

must leave at once before we, in turn are
forgotten.

PETER PAN: If you wish it.

SLIGHTLY: "If you wish it"?

PETER PAN: (Shouts) If you wish it!

PETER flies out the stage. WENDY

looks at THE LOST BOYS, persuading
them to follow her. After a moment,
PETER comes back.

PETER PAN: I have arranged a fairy guide to lead you

back.

WENDY: Peter, we've been talking. What if you

came back with us?

SLIGHTLY: Can we go, Peter?

NIBS: Please, Peter, can we go?

PETER PAN: (Cross his arms) If you wish it.

WENDY: Get your things.

THE LOST BOYS cheer and collect their

things. They gather behind WENDY;
JOHN and MICHAEL stand behind THE
LOST BOYS. PETER is still crossing
his arms together, not moving.

WENDY: You too, Peter.

PETER PAN: Would they send me to school?

WENDY: Yes.

PETER PAN: Then... to an office?

WENDY: I suppose so.

PETER PAN: Soon I should be a man. You can't catch me

and make me a man.

WENDY: Peter.

PETER PAN: I want always to be a boy and have fun.

(Looks at WENDY) You can always be a girl
and have fun, too, Wendy. Stay with me.
You don’t have to worry about anything at
all. Nothing but happy thoughts.

WENDY: I can’t, Peter. Everybody has to grow up.

Including me.

THE LOST BOYS, JOHN and MICHAEL exit.

Lights off.
SCENE THREE
SETTINGS: THE LOST BOYS’ HIDEOUT
CHARACTERS: PETER PAN, WENDY, CAPTAIN
HOOK, TINKERBELL
WENDY: Don't forget your medicine.

PETER ignores WENDY as she leaves.

PETER goes back to sleep; unaware
about the commotion outside.
Outside THE HIDEOUT, WENDY sees THE
LOST BOYS (but without JOHN and
MICHAEL) are captured and tied up by
THE PIRATES. She is shocked but
before she could scream for help,
BILL JUKES closes her mouth.

SMEE: Surprise.

HOOK: A new era begins. Take them away.

THE PIRATES, THE LOST BOYS and WENDY

exit. HOOK enters THE HIDEOUT to
replace the medicine with poison.

PETER PAN: (In his sleep) No medicine. I don't wanna

take medicine. No.

HOOK: (Quietly) How helpless you are now, Peter

Pan...I should have just slashed you but
that would be a hassle. And a bloody mess.

PETER PAN: (Turns around in his sleep) No.

HOOK: But this venomous concoction of malice,

jealousy and disappointment – the very
poisons of human beings – will do the deed
for me!
 HOOK pours the poison inside the
container and places it beside PETER.
He exits the stage with a wide smile.
PETER wakes up with a startle.

PETER PAN: I was not asleep! Wendy? Wendy? Are you

there?

PETER gets up, looks for WENDY then

tries to drink his medicine but
TINKERBELL appears and snatches the
medicine and drinks it. [THE
CONTAINER FALLS DOWN from PETER’s
grip].

PETER PAN: Tink. You drank my medicine.

The light from TINKERBELL dims out

suddenly. She falls sick.

PETER PAN: Tinkerbell? Tink? Why is your light going

out? (Holding TINKERBELL in his hands)
Tink, why are you so cold? Stay warm, Tink.
Stay warm. Please come back. Please, Tink,
don't leave me. If you leave me too, Tink,
I’ll be all alone. Forgive me, Tink. I'm
so sorry. I'm so sorry, Tink. Please
forgive me. Tink!

TINKERBELL tinkles slowly PETER.

PETER PAN: What? She said that she think she would
get better again if you believed in
fairies...If you believe in fairies, will
you clap your hands? Please, clap your
hands or Tink will die!

TINKERBELL’s light slowly get

brighter [following the audiences’
 clapping] and she finally tinkles
brightly.

PETER PAN: I do believe in fairies..I do believe in

fairies... (Noticing TINKERBELL’s tinkles)
Oh Tink, you’re alive! You’re alive!

Lights off.

SCENE FOUR
SETTING: THE PIRATE SHIP
CHARACTERS: CAPTAIN HOOK, THE PIRATES,
THE LOST BOYS, WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL
THE LOST BOYS are sitting on the
stage; WENDY is sitting at the centre
while HOOK and THE PIRATES are
standing around them.

HOOK: There's still room for a storyteller.

WENDY: I would rather die.

HOOK: (Covering his face) Why are the girls

always playing hard to get?

SMEE: Cap'n, Cap'n. Look at the sky. And look at

the water. Pan must be dead.

The blue lights dimmed slowly.

THE LOST BOYS: No! No! Impossible!

HOOK: Ship's company, hats off! A moment's

silence for our fallen enemy, Peter Pan.
We sail at dawn!
 THE PIRATES cheering and throwing
their hats into the air. However,
almost suddenly, the lights shine
brightly again.

HOOK: (Surprised) He's alive! Why is he? What is

he?

WENDY: He will come...he will come and slay you,

pirates!

HOOK: (Threatening WENDY) I'll have one last

story before you die. The story of Peter
Pan. Once upon a time...

WENDY: Once upon a time...

SMEE: Brutes, Red-Handed Jill is gonna tell us a

story.

THE PIRATES and THE LOST BOYS gather

around her and listen to her story.

WENDY: There was a boy named Peter Pan, who

decided not to grow up.

HOOK: Skip the prologue.

WENDY: So he flew away to the Neverland where the

pirates are.

NOODLER: Was one of them pirates called Noodler?

WENDY: Yes.

NOODLER: Captain, did you hear? I am in a story.

HOOK shoots NOODLER.

HOOK: What fun he must have had.

WENDY: Yes. But he was rather lonely.

HOOK: Lonely?

PIRATE 2: He needed a Wendy. I need a Wendy.

HOOK shoots PIRATE 2.

SMEE: Very exciting. Two dead already.

HOOK: Why a Wendy?

WENDY: He liked my stories.

HOOK: What stories?

WENDY: Cinderella. Snow White. Sleeping Beauty.

HOOK: Love stories?

WENDY: Adventures in which good triumphs over

evil.

THE LOST BOYS cheer.

HOOK: (Snickers) Fairy tales. They all end in a

kiss. A kiss. He does feel. He feels about
you.

HOOK cuts WENDY’s ropes and untie her.

HOOK: She told him stories. He taught her to fly.

How?

WENDY: You just think happy thoughts. They lift

you into the air.

HOOK: Alas, I have no happy thoughts.

WENDY: That brings you down.

HOOK: How else?

THE LOST BOYS: No! Leave her alone!

TOOTLES: It's fairy dust. You need fairy dust!

THE LOST BOYS: Tootles!

HOOK: What of Pan? Will unhappy thoughts bring

him down?

WENDY: He has no unhappy thoughts.

HOOK: Aw. How if his Wendy walks the plank!

THE PIRATES: Plank! Plank! Plank! Plank!

Plank! Plank! Plank! Plank!
Plank! Plank! Plank! Plank!
Plank! Plank! Plank! Plank!

WENDY walks the plank.

HOOK: You know, I really am terribly sorry about

this.

CROCODILE THEME symbolizes its coming.

HOOK: The irony. It comes for Hook, and gets a

Wendy instead.

WENDY falls off the plank but no

sound of splashing water as PETER
saves her from falling.

THE LOST BOYS: No!

Lights focus on HOOK.

SMEE: Did you hear her hit the water? Because I

didn't.

HOOK: The beast has swallowed her whole.

BILL JUKES: Starboard side! It looks for more,

Captain.
HOOK: Then let's give it more. To the plank!

THE LOST BOYS start to shout.

HOOK: Silence, puling spawn!

HOOK takes SLIGHTLY by his shirt and

forces him to walk the plank.

HOOK: I'll show you the road to dusty death.

The sound of ticking clock goes on

and the shadow of THE CROCODILE
appears within the sails of the ship.

THE PIRATES: (Frightened) Huh?

HOOK: Into the rigging with you! Hunt it down!

Move, you scabs!

PETER comes sneaking down with WENDY

to save THE LOST BOYS without HOOK
noticing,

HOOK: What was that?

THE LOST BOYS hide PETER between

themselves as PETER releases them.
The sound of the ticking of the clock
continues and getting nearer.

BILL JUKES: It’s here, Captain! Devil! Demon!

Accursed beast! Your time is up!

TIGER LILY and TINKERBELL appear with

a mannequin crocodile.
TIGER LILY: Hello.

PETER jumps in front of HOOK.

HOOK: So, Peter Pan. This is all your doing.

PETER PAN: Aye, James Hook. It is all my doing.

HOOK: Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet

thy doom.

PETER PAN: Have at thee!

HOOK and PETER strikes each other

with a sword and a dagger
respectively. THE PIRATES come down
to help their captain.

HOOK: Leave him! He's mine.

PETER PAN: Now!

THE LOST BOYS and TIGER LILY attack

THE PIRATES.

SMEE: (Immediately gives in) Here you are. There.

I never wanted to be a pirate anyway. I'm
gonna spend the rest of my life doing good
works.

WENDY sees JOHN and MICHAEL amidst

the commotion but they are running
around – not affected with the fight
or rather, nobody sees them...except
WENDY. Her headache is becoming
unbearable, she stops at the corner
of the stage.

HOOK: I know what you are!

PETER PAN: I am the best there ever was!

HOOK: You're a tragedy.

PETER PAN: Me? Tragic?

HOOK: She was leaving you, Pan. Your Wendy was

leaving you. Why should she stay? What
have you to offer? You are incomplete.
She'd rather grow up than stay with you.
Let us now take a peep into the future.
What's this I see? 'Tis the fair Wendy.
She's in her nursery. The window's shut.

PETER PAN: I'll open it! (He swings his dagger

abruptly)

HOOK: (Easily deflecting his aim) I'm afraid the

window's barred.

PETER PAN: I'll call out her name.

HOOK: She can't hear you.

PETER PAN: No!

HOOK: She can't see you.

PETER PAN: Wendy! (Looking frantically for WENDY)

HOOK: She's forgotten all about you.

PETER PAN: Stop! Please! Stop it!

HOOK: And what is this I see? There is another

in your place. He is called... husband.

PETER falls down in the middle of the

fight on the pirate ship. THE LOST
BOYS and TIGER LILY are distracted
and quickly disarmed by THE PIRATES –
including SMEE.

SMEE: (Holding TIGER LILY) A-ha! I’ve changed my

mind now.

WENDY: No! Peter!

HOOK: (Holding PETER’s head) You die alone, and
unloved.

PIRATE 3: (Holding WENDY) Unloved.

HOOK: Just like me.

WENDY: No!

THE LOST BOYS: No!

WENDY kicks PIRATE 3 and stops HOOK

from striking PETER but she fails and
falls beside PETER.

HOOK: Silence, all, for Wendy's farewell.

WENDY: Peter. I'm sorry. I must grow up. But...

this is yours.

HOOK pulls WENDY’s hand.

Wendy: 'Tis just a thimble.

HOOK: How like a girl! By all means, my beauty.

Give Peter Pan your precious thimble. This
belongs to you, and always will.

THE LOST BOYS: Ohh.

WENDY kisses PETER (on the cheek).

NIBS: That was no thimble.

TWINS: That was her hidden kiss.

The weather changes into light-yellow

light on.

SLIGHTLY: Brace yourselves, lads.

TOOTLES: 'Tis a powerful thing.

HOOK: Pan, you're pink!

THE LOST BOYS, TIGER LILY and WENDY

run to the other side of the pirate
ship.

HOOK: Split my infinitives!

PETER shouts and a gust of wind blows

everything off. HOOK and THE PIRATES
fall; HOOK falls nearer THE CROCODILE
[at the stage].

HOOK: No! I have won!

PETER PAN: Whoo-hoo! You... are old.

HOOK: But I won!

PETER PAN: Old. And alone!

THE LOST BOYS: Alone.

HOOK: No! I won! I won!

WENDY: Done for.

EVERYBODY: Old, alone and done for!

Old, alone and done for!!
Old, alone and done for!!!

THE CROCODILE comes nearer and before

HOOK is eaten; he calls out for WENDY.

HOOK: WENDY!

WENDY stares at him; she moves

forward.

HOOK: Is this real? Is anything real at all?

WENDY: (Confused) What is...?

HOOK: Is he real? (Slowly disappearing from the

stage) Everybody has to grow up, Wendy.
That is a nature of life – but this
isn’t...

The lights switch off one by one; the

rest of the casts slowly exiting the
stage – like shadows retreating from
sunlight. WENDY looks around her in
confusion; spotlight follows her
walking around as she’s questioning
about what’s real.

WENDY: What is this...? (Remember about her

siblings) John! Michael!

Lights focus on JOHN and MICHAEL as

they stand in front of her; waving
their hands before the lights dimmed
out – now the only lights are focused
on WENDY at the centre of the stage.

WENDY: (Talks to herself) Is this real? But what

is real? I don’t know...I couldn’t
remember.

As she tries to run off from her ‘bad

dream’, PETER appears from behind her.
WENDY turns and sees him. PETER looks
apologetic and sad.

WENDY: What is happening? Tell me, Peter!

WENDY touches her head; her headache

is slowly disappearing.

PETER PAN: If you stayed long enough, it’ll disappear.

Not only a headache but pain – there will
be no more sadness and anguish. No more
 lies or pretending but happiness! All you
ever wanted.

WENDY: (Realizes) Am I dead?

PETER PAN: (Hesitates) Only if you stayed.

WENDY: So I can go back?

PETER PAN: (Shows his disappointment) Why don’t you

stay with me, Wendy? Forget them all. In
here you can always laugh without any
worries and don’t have to grow up.

WENDY: (Contemplating) I...I can’t, Peter.

PETER PAN: (Comes forward) But why? Why do you ever

want to go back? There’s nothing there
except sorrow and selfishness – their lies
and more lies! (Facing WENDY) What else
they could offer but death at the end of
your days?

WENDY: (Quietly) There are so much more...so much

to see, to venture. But I wouldn’t know
because I haven’t tried.

WENDY closes her eyes, think deeply

and finally made her mind.

WENDY: Not many are fortunate. I was given a

chance to live my life and to discard it
away...

WENDY smiles to PETER; PETER realizes

it’s a goodbye.

WENDY: Take me home, Peter. It’s time to end this

tale.

PETER PAN: Very well. (Smiles and holds his hand out)
Shall we fly to there for the last time?
 WENDY takes his hand and both of them
fly away. Lights off.
SHADOW PLAY of two of them flying
from NEVERLAND to the windows of THE
CHILDREN’S BEDROOM.

SCENE FIVE
SETTING: THE CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
CHARACTERS: WENDY, JOHN, MICHAEL, MR
DARLING, MRS DARLING
Curtains open; lights slowly focusing
on THE DARLINGS as they are sitting
around WENDY who is unconscious in
the bed. MR DARLING and MRS DARLING
sitting together at her left side; MR
DARLING is fighting his sleepiness
but falls asleep almost right away.
JOHN and MICHAEL are sleeping at her
right side. WENDY slowly opens her
eyes and MRS DARLING notices it.

MRS DARLING: Oh Wendy!

MR DARLING is instantly awake and

looks at MRS DARLING.

MRS DARLING: George! Wendy’s awake!

JOHN and MICHAEL wake up from their

sleep after MRS DARLING’s scream of
joy. They rush to WENDY.

JOHN: Wendy! You’re back!

MICHAEL: Wendy! I miss you!

 WENDY smiles in relief.

WENDY: I’m back, boys.

MRS DARLING: (To MR DARLING) What did I tell you? I

know if we brought her home, she’ll wake
up eventually.

JOHN: And keep the windows open!

MICHAEL: Tell us, Wendy! Tell us about your

adventure!

MR DARLING: Boys, don’t shout at your sister. Let

her rest. (Smiles to WENDY) She’s just
had the biggest adventure.

WENDY: What happened?

JOHN: You ran out to the windows –

MR DARLING: (Interrupting JOHN) You fell down from

the windows, dear. And you’ve been
asleep for days.

MRS DARLING: (Fondly caressing WENDY’s hair) You made

all of us worried, Wendy.

WENDY: Don’t worry, Mother. I’m here. I came back.

JOHN: Please tell us, Wendy. Did you go

somewhere in your dream?

MICHAEL: Did you go to the Neverland?

MR DARLING wants to interrupt them

but MRS DARLING stops him. He looks
at MRS DARLING and keeps his thoughts
to himself. WENDY turn to face her
siblings. What could she possibly say?
She did have the biggest adventure;
and a lesson.
WENDY: Yes, I went there. (JOHN and MICHAEL gasp)
And I came back. To you.

MRS DARLING: Yes, you did. And I’m glad.

MR DARLING: Let’s go back to sleep, boys. Let your

sister alone. This is her bedroom from
now on. You two are sleeping in another
room.

WENDY: What about boarding school?

MR DARLING: (Looks at MRS DARLING) We decided it’s

best for you to stay near with us. After
all, that’s what parents should do.

JOHN and MICHAEL say their goodnight;

MRS DARLING kisses her; MR DARLING
tries to shut the windows but WENDY
stops him.

WENDY: Let it be, Father. I won’t fall again.

MR DARLING: (Hesitates) It’s a promise?

WENDY: It’s a promise.

All of them exit the stage except

WENDY. She sits at first, trying to
move her feet. When she manages to do
so, she walks slowly to the windows.
She hears a faint sound of tinkles
and looks at the edge of the windows
– a thimble is left there.

WENDY takes it, smiling as she looks

up to the sky. Somewhere up there,
stars are looking down and one of
them is particularly blinking
brightly to her.
WENDY: Thank you...and farewell.

WENDY pulls and shuts the windows.

Lights off. The curtains close.

THE END.
