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!
Peter Pan Copyright Notice
In 1929, J. M. Barrie gifted the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital. In recognition of Barrie’s unprecedented generosity, and the exceptional work of the Hospital itself, a special clause in the UK’s Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1988 granted the hospital the right to a royalty from Peter Pan in perpetuity. For nearly 100 years, the story of Peter Pan has enchanted children and adults alike, and continues to benefit the seriously ill children who are admitted to GOSH for life-saving treatment every day.
