first edition peter pan in kensington gardens

There are no 'lost girls' because, as Peter explains, girls are far too clever to fall out of their prams. They are boys 'who fall out of their prams when the nurse is looking the other way and if they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent far away to the Neverland,' where Peter Pan is their captain. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. The Play debuted at the Duke of York's Theatre in London on 27 December 1904 with Nina Boucicault, daughter of the playwright Dion Boucicault, in the title role. The Peter Pan stories also involve the characters Wendy Darling, and her two brothers, Peter's fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. Both versions tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous yet innocent little boy who can fly, and has many adventures on the island of Neverland that is inhabited by mermaids, fairies, Native Americana, and pirates.
