Barrie's original play (1904)

J.M. Barrie's 1904 play "Peter Pan" tells the story of a boy who never grows up, living in the magical Neverland. He invites Wendy Darling and her brothers to join him on adventures involving fairies, pirates, and lost boys. Throughout the play, themes of childhood innocence, imagination, and the desire for eternal youth are explored. Peter’s refusal to mature creates a whimsical world that blurs the line between fantasy and reality, ultimately emphasizing the importance of retaining wonder and playfulness as we grow older.
