Yale School of Drama to Present PETER PAN, 12/13-19

In J.M. Barrie's masterpiece, Peter Pan must decide whether to grow up or remain a boy forever. Unlike the sanitized Peter Pans of our childhood, Barrie's initial draft of the play depicts growing up as harrowing, treacherous, and infinitely complicated. In this new adaptation, based on Barrie's earliest, unpublished manuscripts, a group of real "lost boys" bring their Peter Pan to life. Will they-and their unbridled imaginations-survive the tick-tocking crocodile of time?

PETER PAN will be performed at the University Theatre, 222 York Street in New Haven. The performance schedule is:

Friday, December 13 8PM

Saturday, December 14 8PM

Monday, December 16 8PM
