Title

JM Barrie's Peter Pan, the Official Peter Pan British Musical

Description

Like Alice in Wonderland and other great stories for children, Peter Pan originated as a private entertainment invented for one particular child or group of children.

By 1898 James Matthew Barrie was a popular, established British novelist and playwright in his late thirties. At a dinner party in London, he had met Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, sister of the actor-manager Gerald du Maurier and the wife of Arthur Llewelyn Davies, a successful barrister. Soon Barrie was a close friend of the entire family, which at that time consisted of George aged five, Jack aged three and baby Peter, not yet out of his pram.

The Davies family lived near the area in London known as Notting Hill Gate to the north of a central park called Kensington Gardens, while Barrie and his wife Mary lived in Gloucester Road to the south.
