Script Peter Pan

Act I, Scene 1 15
Wendy John! John! Wale up! Oh do wake up! Peter Pan has come and he is going to teach
us to fly!
John (still half asleep) What? (dreamily) Oh, good.
Wendy John! John! Will you wake up!
Wendy turns the mattress, causing John to fall out of bed
Peter Pan is here and he is to teach us to fly.
John Is he? (he sees Peter) Why so he is! To fly, you say? Then I shall get up. (he notices
where he is) Hallo, I am up!
Wendy by this time is shaking Michael awake
Wendy Michael, open your eyes. You are to learn how to fly. Peter Pan is here!
Michael (sitting up on bed, rubbing his eyes) Who?
John races round to Michael’s bed and grabs him
John Come on, Michael.
Soon Wendy and John are talking excitedly to Peter, whilst Michael, still clutching his
teddy bear, is endeavouring to understand what is going on. Then Nana’s bark is heard off
Peter Quiet! Now stop blabbering and just listen! Hold on! I can hear someone coming.
Quick, hide.
Sounds of Nana and Liza, a servant, can be heard off-stage
Liza (off) You silly dog, what do you mean by all this fuss?
Nana barks and growls off
The boys hide behind the curtains and in the bathroom. Wendy quickly puts the pillows
under the bed covers in an attempt to show that all is well in the bedroom and that the
children are sleeping peacefully. She hides
Nana enters pulling Liza. They look around, all is quiet
There! You suspicious brute. They are perfectly safe, aren’t they? Every
one of the little angels sound asleep in bed. Listen to their gentle breathing.
Michael, encouraged by his success, snores loudly, nearly giving the game away. Nana is
not fooled and barks, trying to pull away from Liza’s grasp
Now that’s enough! No more of it, Nana, I warn you if bark again I shall go straight to
master and missus and bring them home from the party, and then, oh, won’t master whip
you just.
