Peter Pan
20th Century Peter Pan
This is an adaptation of the old Peter Pan story, well the Disney story book version anyway. It was written for a Christmas play for the Scout Group I was with at the time. It was an all boy group at the time which is why there are only two female characters. I managed to persuade one Scout to play Tinkerbell and Tiger Lily was played by another Scouts younger sister. Part of the play was to grab a few unsuspecting people from the audience to play parts that we had not filled, though the little sister had been warned. The adults I nabbed had not 
The script contains very few action prompts or scene change details. I must have added them into a later version, but you should be able to make it out without them.

Narrator
| Narrator | Our story begins in the Darling household. William and his brothers were restless. It was almost their bedtime, but they weren’t sleepy at all. |
| John | It’s almost bedtime, but I’m not sleepy at all. |
| Narrator | I’ve just said that. |
| John | Oh! Sorry. |
| Narrator | Just get on with it. |
| John | What shall we play? {sigh} I’m bored with all our old games. |
| William | I could tell you a story of Peter Pan who visited our great grand parents. |
| Michael | Oh no! Not another boring story. |
| Narrator | So William told them a story about Peter Pan and the Pirates, even they didn’t want to listen. I don’t know kids today it’s all computer games. After the story had finished the boys went back to play some more games. |
| John | My turn first on Sonic. |
| Narrator | Just then ….. |
| Peter Pan | It must be around here somewhere. |
| Michael | Oh it’s Peter Pan, he has come in the middle of my turn on Sonic. |
| Peter Pan | Thanks guys pleased to see you too. Has anyone seen my shadow? |
| William | Here it is. I’ll just get some double-sided sticky tape. |
| John | He wants to be a Blue Peter presenter. |
| William | There we go Peter, stuck back as good as new. |
| Peter Pan | Thanks Will. |
| Michael | What’s Never Land like Peter? |
| Peter Pan | It’s a wonderful place, I’ll take you there, we will have fun in Never Land. |
| John | How do we get there? I’ve never known the train to stop there. |
| William | Don’t be silly John, you can’t take the train to Never Land. |
| Peter Pan | That’s right. Just a sprinkle of pixie dust and we’re in Never Land. |
| Michael | Don’t we fly like in the story? |
| Peter Pan | No this is new improved pixie dust that you wouldn’t swap two of your old packets of pixie dust for. |
| Narrator | One sprinkle of pixie dust of the new improved variety and they were outside the secret hideout of the Lost Boys. |
| William | Cor! This place looks great. |
| Tinkerbell | Hmph, more boys, god can’t stand them, got to get out of here. |
| Narrator | Her tune will be different in a few years time. |
| Lost Boy 1 | Welcome to our secret hide out. |
| Lost Boy 2 | Come on, we’ll give you a tour of the island. |
| Michael | Okay, but have you got Sonic? |
| Peter Pan | William, we’ll go the other way and leave them to talk about those daft computer games. |
| Narrator | The boys went off in their groups for the tour around the island. Until …. |
| (Two Indians jump out on the boys.) | |
| Indian 1 | Um. We take you to the chief. |
| Indian 2 | Um. Yes come with us. |
| (The Indians take the boys to the Chief.) | |
| Chief | Where is my daughter, Tiger Lily? What have you done with her? |
| Lost Boy 2 | We haven’t done anything with her. |
| Lost Boy 1 | Can we go now? |
| Chief | No. |
| Narrator | Meanwhile elsewhere …. |
| Peter Pan | Look down there, Captain Hook and Smee have Tiger Lily. |
| Hook | If you don’t tell us where Peter Pan’s hide out is we will leave you on this island. |
| Peter Pan | Stop what you’re doing Hook or you’ll have to deal with me. |
| (The Alien walks on behind Hook while Hook and Peter Pan fight over Tiger Lily. Suddenly Hook falls out of the boat and the alien grabs Hook.) | |
| Hook | Smee, HELP, save me from this alien. |
| Alien | Aggle Baggle Raggle. |
| Smee | I’m coming captain, Hold on. |
| (Peter rescues Tiger Lily while Smee rescues Hook.) | |
| (Peter, William and Tiger Lily go back to the village.) | |
| Chief | Thank you Peter for rescuing my daughter, let’s have a party. |
| (Everyone leaves the stage to party.) | |
| (Tinkerbell is walking along in the forest when suddenly Smee grabs her and takes her to the ship.) | |
| Smee | Got you pixie. |
| On the ship | |
| Hook | Welcome aboard, Miss Tinkerbell. I’m sure you have noticed things have got worse since William and his brothers arrived here. Tomorrow I’m leaving the island forever I could take William and his brothers with me if you tell me where to find them. |
| Tinkerbell | The hideout is here. |
| Hook | You’ve been most helpful. Now I can get Peter Pan. Smee lock Tinkerbell up. |
| (Back at the hide out) | |
| William | We must be going now Peter. We’ll have to go home. |
| Pirate 1 | Arrrr, look we have found those pesky kids. |
| Pirate 2 | Lets get them back to the captain. |
| (Back at the ship) | |
| Hook | Become pirates or you’ll have to walk the plank. |
| Narrator | Tinkerbell manages to escape her prison and make it back to Peter Pan. |
| Tinkerbell | Peter, Hook has captured William, his brothers and the Lost boys. |
| (Back at the ship) | |
| Michael | We will never become pirates. |
| William | Peter Pan will come and rescue us. |
| Peter Pan | We will fight you to the end Hook. |
| Hook | I’ll get you this time Peter Pan. |
| (All start fighting. After a little while Hook looses his balance and falls into the sea and is chased away by the Alien.) | |
| The pirates jump into the sea and swim off. The Boys give a big cheer. | |
| Peter Pan | Time to go home now. |
| Narrator | Peter Pan sprinkles some more new improved pixie dust over them and they appear back in the children’s bedroom. |
| William | I think we’re all tired it’s time to go to sleep. |
| Narrator | The boys all climbed into their beds and went to sleep. |
