Peter Pan Pantomime Script Excerpt
The LOST BOYS are celebrating having shot down the 'Wendybird' when PETER PAN enters with JOHN and MICHAEL.
PETER: Hey everyone! I’m home.
TOOTLES: Where have you been?
PETER: I’ve been back to get my shadow and I’ve fixed it back on.
The LOST BOYS cheer.
MICHAEL: That’s not what happened!
PETER: Yes, it is. And if you think otherwise then I’ll take you straight back home.
JOHN: (Changing his tune) You did fix it on. You were amazing!
TOOTLES: Who are you?
JOHN: I’m John, this is Michael & this is our sister… (JOHN looks around for WENDY but she isn’t there) Peter, where’s Wendy?
SLIGHTLY: Did you just say Wendy?
JOHN: Yes, have you seen her!
NIBS: Of course we saw her.
TOOTLES: Tinker Bell saw her, Nibs said to shoot her and Slightly shot her.
MICHAEL: You did what?
TOOTLES: That’s what you always tell us: See it, say it, sort it!
SLIGHTLY: (Proud of himself) It was a great shot too. Straight in the heart!
JOHN: You shot our sister in the heart?
NIBS: No, he shot the Wendy-bird.
MICHAEL: What’s a Wendy-bird?
SLIGHTLY: It's a great big bird that wants to eat us.
WENDY staggers onstage; she’s been hit with an arrow.
NIBS: Look, here she comes. (Congratulating SLIGHTLY) What a great shot!
TOOTLES: (Seeing her clearly for the first time) That’s not a Wendy-bird, it’s a Ladybird!
JOHN: That’s not a Ladybird…
JOHN & MICHAEL: It’s our sister!
