Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up is a play by J. M. Barrie, first performed in December 1904.Three children — Wendy, John, and Michael Darling — are whisked away by the magical boy Peter Pan on an adventure to the magical Neverland, where they meet Peter's band of Lost Boys and deal with hazards including a crew of pirates led by the diabolical Captain Hook. In the end, the three children decide to return home, and the Lost Boys are persuaded to come with them, but Peter chooses to continue living in Neverland, where he will always be a child and never grow up.Peter Pan first appeared in the story "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens". Barrie adapted the plot of the play into a novel, known as Peter and Wendy or just Peter Pan and published in 1911. He also continued to revise the play even after its debut, eventually publishing a definitive version of the script in 1928. The play continues to be a perennial of the December theatrical season, and play and novel between them have inspired numerous adaptations, sequels, and prequels. | |

Dead All Along | |
| Peter Pan (1904) (Theatre) / int_1b590025 | comment |
Dead All Along: One possible interpretation of Peter's status is that he will never grow up because he is already dead, but isn't consciously aware of the fact. There is no explicit statement of this in the play, but there are hints, such as his complete aversion to being touched, which Barrie may have included deliberately. | |

Significant Double Casting | |
| Peter Pan (1904) (Theatre) / int_48c24da4 | comment |
Significant Double Casting: It is tradition to have Mr. Darling and Captain Hook be played by the same actor, likely because both characters represent the adult antagonist determined to destroy childhood fun. Originally, Hook was considered to be played by the actress who played Mrs. Darling but actor Gerald du Maurier persuaded Barrie to let him take the role of Captain Hook (however, some play adaptations do have Mrs. Darling play as Captain Hook). | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Peter Pan (1904) (Theatre) / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The Trope Namer. It's said that fairies are dependent on the belief of children to survive; if a child stops believing in fairies, a fairy will die, and apparently enough children believing can save a fairy from dying. So Peter asks them to clap to express their belief in fairies. | |

Affably Evil: Smee. He's not a nice man—after all, he is trying to kill the Lost Boys—but he's so unintentionally pleasant and charming in his dim-witted way that everyone loves him. Captain Hook observes that Smee is happy because he thinks that the boys fear him, even though he lets Michael try on his spectacles. | |
