Title: “Peter Pan, the Boy Who Hated Mothers” Play
Post by: Dani1923 on November 12, 2020, 06:55:50 PM

Andrew,

I was looking on Wikipedia just now to find movie and TV adaptations of Peter Pan that I’ve never seen, and I just decided to look at the play section too, and I saw this:

“Peter Pan, the Boy Who Hated Mothers (2010), adapted by Andrew Birkin from J.M. Barrie's original various drafts of the play, novel and screenplay, first staged at the Theatre du Gymnase in Marseille in February 2010 (translated into French by Céline-Albin Faivre), broadcast on Arte TV Channel Christmas 2010.”

Does this actually exist or does it exist and you didn’t write it? Or is this whole thing, as the British say, “bollocks”?

It does exist, and indeed was written by Andrew, a great take on the story. Unfortunately, it's only been performed in France but perhaps Andrew could upload the script on the database?

Awesome!! I actually managed to find out yesterday that the play did in fact exist! And that there was a thread on this forum about the play around the time of its premiere a whopping 10 years ago!
I hope Andrew does upload the script!
