Peter Pan Pantomime Script Excerpt
TOOTLES, NIBS, CURLY, SLIGHTLY & the ENSEMBLE as LOST BOYS are in a clearing in the woods. TINKER BELL rushes onstage and whispers in TOOTLES’ ear.
TOOTLES: What? We’re under attack!
TINKER BELL points towards the sky and whispers to TOOTLES.
TOOTLES: There’s a bird? And it’s coming to eat us?
TINKER BELL nods. She whispers into TOOTLES’ ear again.
TOOTLES: A Wendy-bird? Are they dangerous?
TINKER BELL nods again. She points at SLIGHTLY and mimes using a bow and arrow to shoot it down.
TOOTLES: (To SLIGHTLY) She wants you to shoot it down.
SLIGHTLY: Shouldn’t we ask Peter first?
TINKER BELL shakes her head. She is handed a bow and arrow from the wings and thrusts it into SLIGHTLY’S hands.
NIBS: Shoot it down!
The LOST BOYS start to chant “Shoot it, shoot it, shoot it!” PETER PAN, JOHN and MICHAEL enter behind them.
PETER: Hey everyone! I’m home.
The LOST BOYS turn to look at PETER PAN. They cheer.
PETER: What are you doing with that bow and arrow?
TOOTLES: We’re going to shoot the Wendy-bird!
MICHAEL: What’s a Wendy-bird?
NIBS: It's a great big bird that wants to eat us.
CURLY: Look, here it comes.
WENDY enters.
TOOTLES: (Seeing her clearly for the first time) Hang on, that’s not a Wendy-bird, it’s a Ladybird!
JOHN: That’s not a Ladybird…
JOHN & MICHAEL: It’s our sister!
PETER: Everyone, this is Wendy. She’s going to be your new mother.
The LOST BOYS all react excitedly.
WENDY: I’m still not sure about that Peter, what if I’m no good?
MICHAEL: Don’t worry Wendy; you can’t be worse than ours.
WENDY: Don’t be so rude, Michael.
JOHN: That’s exactly what a mother would say!
Everyone laughs.
PETER: See, you’re getting the hang of it already. (To WENDY, JOHN and MICHAEL) Come with me; I’ll show you around.

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.
