Peter Pan

For Leah Adcock-Starr, the director of The Life and Death of Peter Pan in this year’s Fringe Festival, Peter Pan is a new Myth. Though she writes in her blog that she was comfortable with the idea of growing up when she was a child, the story still touched something in her. With the help of her husband Kieran and a talented ensemble of actors she has brought to the stage the troubled and tangled adult life of Peter Pan’s creator: James Matthew Barrie. The furnace of fame and fortune has fused JM Barrie the person to Peter Pan the Myth.
