Peter Pan
The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up
By J. M. Barrie
Adapted by John Caird and Trevor Nunn
This was the final National Theatre revival of the original RSC version of J. M. Barrie’s source material. It opened at the Olivier auditorium of the National Theatre on 17th December 1998 and played throughout the Christmas season.
The RSC version is published by DPS in New York.
The NT version was published by Methuen in England.
The Adapters and Directors were greatly indebted to Andrew Birkin, the world authority on Peter Pan, for his invaluable help with the text.
