Script Peter Pan

56 Peter Pan
Oh, Nana, I dreamt my dear ones had come back. I see you have put their night things out
again, Nana. It touches my heart to watch you do that night after night. But they will never
come back.
Liza enters
Liza Nana’s dinner is served.
Nana bounds out
To think I have a master that has changed places with a dog!
Liza exits
Mrs Darling sighs and closes her eyes again. She is about to nod off to sleep once more
Mr Darling enters. He is dressed in a city pin-stripe suit, wear5ing a bowler hat and carrying
an umbrella. He hangs up his hat and umbrella, walks over to Nana’s kennel and begins to
enter it feet first
Mr Darling Evening, dear
Mrs Darling Good-evening, my dearest … a good day at the office?
Mr Darling I’m just dead. Ah, dear!
Mrs Darling Oh George, you are as full of remorse as ever, aren’t you?
Mr Darling See my punishment! Living in a kennel! My love, do shut that window, I feel a
draught.
Mrs Darling No, George, no. Never ask me to do that. The window must always be left open
for them just in case one day they ― they …
Mr Darling I know, my love, that was thoughtless of me. Of course we must leave the window
open … always.
Mrs Darling again falls asleep in her chair
Mr Darling snuggles into Nana’s kennel
The stage darkens
Music 36B: Instrumental
Ideally Peter Pan flies into the room. If this is impractical, he simply enters through the
window. Tink follows. Peter looks about him
Peter Quick, Tink. Close the window; bar it. That’s right.
The window closes as if Tink has closed it
Now you and I must get away by the door, and when Wendy comes she will think her
mother has barred her out and she will have to come back with me … (He notices Mrs
Darling asleep in the rocking chair. He looks at her curiously) Tink, this is Wendy’s
mother. She is a pretty lady, but she ― she is crying … I ― I think she wants us to unbar
the window but I won’t! Not I! She’s ― she’s awfully fond of Wendy. But I’m fond of her
too and we can’t both have her, lady.
