SIDE 1

PETER PAN

What’s your name?


WENDY

Wendy Moira Angela Darling. What’s your name?

PETER PAN

Peter Pan.

WENDY

Where do you live?

PETER PAN

Second to the right and straight on till morning.

WENDY

What a funny address!

PETER PAN

No, it isn’t.

WENDY

I mean, is that what they put on your letters?

PETER PAN

Don’t get any letters.

WENDY


But your mother gets letters?

PETER PAN

Don’t have a mother.

(pause)

I can’t get my shadow to stick on.

WENDY

It has come off? How awful. Why it must be sewn on. I shall sew it on for you.

(WENDY gets her sewing box.)

PETER PAN

Thank you.

(WENDY begins attaching PETER’s shadow.) 

 

SIDE 2

WENDY

John, Michael, wake up – there’s a boy here who is going to teach us to fly.

MICHAEL

There is?


JOHN

Then I’ll get up at once.

(NANA barks from offstage.)

JOHN

Out with the lights! Someone’s coming!

(MICHAEL turns off the lights and everyone hides. LIZA enters being dragged by NANA.)

LIZA

There, you see! They are perfectly safe and sound asleep in bed.

(NANA barks.)

Now no more! Come along, you naughty dog!

(They exit, NANA barking loudly. The others emerge from hiding.)

PETER PAN

All clear!

JOHN

Can you really fly?

PETER PAN

I’ll teach you.

MICHAEL

How do you do it? 

 

SIDE 3

WENDY

Tiger Lily, I’ll never get my children to sleep after all this excitement.

TIGER LILY

We’ll go up now. We’ll keep guard and watch for pirates.

(General goodnights. BRAVE GIRLS exit.)

WENDY

Now, children, make your father comfortable.

SLIGHTLY

Here’s your chair, Father.

TWIN #1, TWIN #2

Here are your slippers, Father.

NIBS

Here’s your paper, Father.

WENDY

Now go wash up – it’s your bed time.

(The LOST BOYS run off. A serious expression comes over PETER’s face. WENDY notices.)

They are sweet, aren’t they, Peter?

(no response)

Peter?

(no response)

Peter, what is it?

PETER PAN

I was just thinking – it’s only pretend, isn’t it, that I’m their father? 

 

SIDE 4

WENDY


Peter, I’m going to give you your medicine before your journey.

(WENDY puts Peter’s medicine onto the shelf.)

Get your things, Peter.


PETER PAN

I’m not going with you, Wendy.

WENDY

Yes, Peter.

PETER PAN

No

WENDY

But why not?

PETER PAN

I don’t want to grow up and learn about solemn things. I just want to always be a little boy and to have fun. No one’s going to catch me and make me a man.

(MICHAEL, JOHN, and the LOST BOYS re-enter with bundles.)

SLIGHTLY

We’re all ready to go now.

WENDY

Peter isn’t coming with us.

TOOTLES

Peter’s not coming?


CURLEY

Then, Peter, we won’t leave you.

PETER PAN

Now then, no fuss, no blubbering, just say goodbye.
