It was Friday night. Mr and Mrs Darling were dining out. Nana had been tied up in the backyard. The poor dog was barking, for she could smell danger. And she was right - this was the night that Peter Pan would take the Darling children on the most breath-taking adventure of their lives, to a place called Neverland, a strange country where the lost boys live and never grow up, a land with mermaids, fairies and pirates - and of course the terrible, evil, Captain Hook. Peter Pan is undoubtedly one of the most famous and best-loved stories for children, an unforgettable, magical fantasy which has been enjoyed by generations.
Como todas las creaciones que pulsan las cuerdas más recónditas del ser humano, la figura de Peter Pan, el niño que no quería crecer, no ha cesado de agigantarse en el imaginario del hombre moderno desde que en 1911 James M. Barrie (1860-1937) publicara en forma de narracion la obra de teatro que siete años antes habia alcanzado ya inmenso exito en Londres. Animado por personajes de una capacidad de sugestion que poco tiene que envidiar a la del propio Peter Pan como Campanilla, Wendy o el capitan Garfio, el magistral relato concebido por Barrie participa tanto del cuento de hadas como de la novela de aventuras, la cronica de piratas y la leyenda popular, y es cabal encarnacion de sueños infantiles nunca del todo olvidados.

Barrie to five brothers and first produced as a play in 1904, Peter Pan is the beloved and classic story about the boy who never grows up.Follow the Darling children- Wendy, John, and Michael- as they fly over the rooftops of London to Neverland and have adventures with the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily, mermaids, and the dreadful Captain Hook and his band of pirates.
