10 Peter Pan Peter crows triumphantly Peter! Peter crows again Peter (crowing) How clever I am! Oh, the cleverness of me! Wendy, look, look! Wendy (crossly) Well, I … of course, I did nothing. Peter You did a little. (he crows again) Wendy A little! Well if I am no use and all you can do is make that ridiculous noise I shall go back to bed. (she springs into her bed and covers her face with the blanket) Peter Wendy, don’t go away. I always crow when I’m pleased with myself. Wendy does not move Wendy … Wendy, one girl is more use than twenty boys. Wendy Do you really think so, Peter? Peter Yes, I do. Wendy Well I think it’s perfectly sweet of you and I’ll get up again and I’ll give you a kiss if you like. Peter (holding out his hand expectantly) Thank you. Wendy Surely you know what a kiss is? Peter I shall know when you give it to me. Wendy is about to kiss Peter when she thinks better of it and instead gives him the thimble she used in the sewing-on of his shadow Peter (looking at the thimble) Now, shall I give you a kiss? Wendy If you please. Peter drops an acorn button into her hand Oh … I shall wear your kiss on a chain round my neck. Peter (shrugging) As you please. Wendy Peter, how old are you? Peter (uneasily) I don’t know, but I am quite young. Wendy, I ran away the day I was born. Wendy What! Peter It was because I heard Father and Mother talking about what I was to be when I became a man. (he becomes agitated) I don’t want ever to be a man. I want always to be a little boy and to have fun. So I ran away to Kensington Gardens and lived a long time among the fairies. Wendy But Peter, just think of all the wonderful things you’ll miss: having a family, and a career, becoming rich and― Peter No, Wendy. Listen … Music 7: What Happens (When You’re Grown Up?) (singing) What happens when you are grown up?
Act I, Scene 1 11 What happens when you are tall? Shadows can no longer be sewn up And your childhood things are too small. Wendy, I’m sure adult life is a bore Becoming thirteen is no joy So instead of school and then “studying law” I decided to stay as a boy. Musical reprise if the first four lines during which … Wendy (speaking) But Peter, you can’t just stay as a boy all your life. Just think how exciting it would be to be a man … and a father. Peter, wouldn’t you like to be … married? Peter (singing) Wendy, I’m sure adult life is a bore Becoming thirteen is no joy So instead of school and then “studying law” I decided to stay as a boy. The song takes on an “up-tempo” and Peter struts about the stage I ran away from home the day that I was born And I went to Kensington Gardens. I don’t care to wash my face, speaking when I’m spoken to For me there is no begging of pardons Wendy, you must understand Your parents’ life is hard When they’re dressed up fine and looking grand It’s only a façade Too much responsibility Involved in being a man There’s one little boy who won’t grow up That’s Peter Pan! Musical reprise. Peter dances Wendy, you must understand A parents’ life is hard When they’re dressed up fine and looking grand It’s only a façade Too much responsibility Involved in being a man Peter There’s one little boy who won’t grow up Wendy One little boy who can’t grow up Both This one little boy will not grow up That’s Peter Pan! (speaking) Talking if living with fairies, I wonder where Tinker Bell has gone to. Wendy Peter! (She clutches him) Do you mean to tell me there is a fairy in this room? Peter Yes, she’s my fairy. You know, there ought to be one fairy for every boy and girl. Wendy Ought to be? Isn’t there?
