by Gina Marie Rodriguez, JerseyArts.com
published 2024-11-14

"Peter steps forth and asks the audience to applaud if they believe in fairies. What an extraordinary, risky thing to ask an audience at the time [in 1904]. The actress playing the very first Peter Pan, Nina Boucicault, stepped forth on opening night and asked this audience of sophisticated London gentry to clap hands if they believed in fairies, and the applause was deafening. She burst into tears." As did John Pielmeier and I as he recounted this tale of the first production of J. M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" in London, England.
