To fall in love, really in love, would be an awfully big adventure.
Renowned Scottish playwright, James Matthew Barrie, lies abed, unable to sleep, dreading the anniversary of one of the most tragic moments of his life. Lulled by the persuasive power of the syringe, he falls into a fitful sleep as the events play out in his mind. It’s Armistice Night in London and Michael Llewelyn Davies, one of Barrie’s adopted sons and one of the models for Peter Pan, celebrates with friends when he runs into the mysterious Rupert Buxton. They meet again in Paris, and later at Barrie’s retreat on the Scottish island of Eilean Shona where the relationship between the two men becomes passionate. Will their love survive the censure of 1920s England, and will it destroy James Barrie’s reputation? Love sometimes has tragic consequences. Based on a true story.
Warning The Death of Peter Pan is a play script not a short story or novel
BARRIE (addresses the audience) I miss them, my poor dead boys. I should like to see them one more time but I know that no one should come back no matter how much he is loved. But I did dream that Michael came back to me. I dreamed we had an extra year together and during that time we lived quite ordinarily though strangely close to each other. I did some things that I had wanted to do before but until then had not dared do. I had fears of spoiling him and struggled not to do it. In agony I let him go away sometimes, to live the ordinary life of youth.
The sound of fireworks and merriment. Eton. Armistice night November, 1918. BASSETT, SENHOUSE and MICHAEL LLEWELYN DAVIES stagger on slightly drunk, banging tin bath tubs. Other sounds of celebration off.
BASSETT Righto, Davies, down on your knees and thank your own particular gods the war is over just one day before your call-up.
SENHOUSE I don't really think James Barrie had anything to do with it, Bassett.
MICHAEL I should not be a bit surprised if old Uncle Jim did have something to do with ending the war.
BASSETT Confound his interference! And just as we were winning, too.
They all laugh.
SENHOUSE And where is the gentleman who is the topic of our conversation?
MICHAEL In Paris. In the thick of it.
BASSETT Heaven help our fighting men.
SENHOUSE You can be a frightful bounder sometimes, Bassett.
MICHAEL He set up a hospital and nursing home in memory of my brother George.
BASSETT I say, Davies, I am awfully sorry. I was only teasing.
Sound of fireworks.
MICHAEL Let's go and watch the fireworks.
BASSETT You know what the Housemaster said about being back in our rooms by curfew.
SENHOUSE Don't be such a wet blanket, Bassett. Nobody is taking any notice of the rules tonight. I'll wager even the Housemaster himself will be at the fireworks. I'm game if you are, Davies.
MICHAEL I'm game. What about you, Bassett?
BASSETT Oh, all right. But we mustn't be too late back.
They whoop and rush about. Michael accidentally bumps into a stranger who has appeared. RUPERT BUXTON is dressed as an aesthete. Michael has run into Buxton but it is Buxton who apologises.
BUXTON I do beg your pardon, that was most careless of me.
He smiles and moves on as Michael and the others glare at him.
BASSETT Did you see the way he dresses?
SENHOUSE And that hair!
BASSETT I should like to give the scoundrel a good thrashing. He brings Eton into disrepute.
Buxton turns to address them.
BUXTON Ah, but I do not attend Eton, my good sirs. I come from Harrow.
SENHOUSE Come on, Davies. We'll miss the best part of the fireworks.
MICHAEL You go ahead. I'll be along presently.

The Death of Peter Pan eBook Barry Lowe Reviews
This play was amazing. I read it all in one sitting, early in the morning (the best time to read a play in my opinion). It is very powerful, and also it is unbelievably adorable and definitely worth a read. I don't want to spoil too much to the people who haven't read it yet, but all I will say is that the title will soon make all the sense in the world (I really really wished it didn't) I also loved how they mentioned one of my favourite books Maurice! This play is really really great and I hope I can see it performed. ...Even though I'll be crying hysterically the whole time...
I am very pleased with this purchase
