Script Peter Pan

Act I, Scene 1 43
raises his hat to her, and offering his arm, escorts her to the spot where the others are held. Wendy
can do no more than gasp. She is too overwhelmed by the surprise of the situation to call out
The children are dragged off
The Lights dim in the forest clearing
Peter below is none the wiser
Peter, seeing all are gone, can now let out his bottled-up emotions. He weeps and is very soon
asleep, exhausted and unhappy
Meanwhile Hook waits at the top expecting Peter to follow Wendy. When he does not, Hook silently
makes his way down the tree trunk. He soon finds himself in the Lost Boys’ home. He sees that
Peter is asleep and creeps towards the medicine that Wendy left
Hook (chuckling) Well, well, well. What have we here? Medicine. That will serve my purpose.
Hook produces a small bottle from his pocket and is about to add the poison to Peter’s medicine
when the music starts and instead he begins to sing
Hook And so Peter Pan
To even the score
I’m here to bid you “Good-night”
Now your end has been planned
I’m not at all sure
That I want to finish the fight
It’s a sad way to go
But you must understand
I couldn’t continue to wait
And I’m sure you must know
When you cut off my hand
You finally sealed your fate …
Music 27: Goodbye Peter Pan
Hook again is about to poison Peter’s medicine but instead continues
Goodbye, Peter Pan
My poison is strong
And you’ll find there’s no antidote,
Adieu, Peter Pan
It will not take too long
For the stuff to stick in your throat
Farewell, Peter Pan
Your demise will be quick
I’ll make a fast-working brew
So long, Peter Pan
Just one simple lick
