00:00:17 - Lights up!
00:00:19 - Your five-minute call, sir.
00:00:21 Places. Everyone to their places.
00:00:24 Sh. Quiet, everyone.
00:00:25 Opening nights?
00:00:29 - How are you? Good to see you.
00:00:31 - Sir Herbert, how are you?
00:00:34 - Oh, Lady Herbert.
00:00:36 May I give you a peck?
00:00:37 One of Mr Barrie's finest?
00:00:38 Oh, that genius Scotsman
00:00:40 It's the best thing I've produced
00:00:43 I already have investors interested
00:00:46 - See you on Broadway!
00:01:03 First positions, people.
00:01:07 Standing by, please,
00:01:10 If you could take
00:01:16 Beginners, please take
00:01:20 Audience are coming in. Standing by.
00:01:27 - Good audience.
00:01:29 Good audience tonight.
00:01:30 OK. That's great, thank you.
00:01:33 Um, ten minutes, sir.
00:01:37 I love opening nights.
00:01:40 I want to dance with your wife
00:01:43 - Oh, my goodness.
00:01:44 - How are you, John?
00:01:46 It's the best thing
00:01:49 - Hello, George. How are you?
00:01:51 You've rearranged a holiday
00:01:53 - For you, Charles, anything.
00:01:54 I'm sure.
00:01:55 - Have you got the tickets?
00:01:59 - There's Mrs Barrie.
00:02:03 We were so hoping to speak
00:02:07 - Have you seen him?
00:02:29 We do miss seeing you
00:02:33 Yes, well, it's been some time now.
00:02:38 Oh, yes, yes.
00:02:40 See you at the party, then.
00:02:44 Excuse me. Could you find Mr Barrie
00:02:45 and remind him that they're doing his play
00:02:48 - Yes, ma'am.
00:03:12 Let's close the doors.
00:03:55 Really, I mustn't
00:03:57 I can wait quite well in the shop.
00:03:59 'Tis no inconvenience.
00:04:04 Really,
00:04:05 Sorry, sir.
00:04:08 Mrs Barrie wanted me to remind you
00:04:11 - Though I imagine you know that.
00:04:14 - Sir?
00:04:18 - I wouldn't say they hate it, sir.
00:04:24 - I've just been hired here, sir.
00:04:27 - I'm not really qualified to...
00:04:31 - Crap, sir?
00:04:33 It's shite, isn't it? Go on. Say it.
00:04:35 - Don't know if I'm...
00:04:38 - It's bull's pizzle, Mr Barrie.
00:04:40 - No, I haven't even seen it.
00:04:44 Thank you very much.
00:04:48 Might I knock a tune, milord,
00:04:56 - I'm an old man...
00:04:58 ...and I've seen few of the sights.
00:05:17 Absolute rubbish from start to finish.
00:05:20 Yes, I found it fearfully dull.
00:05:21 Say goodbye to your investment,
00:05:23 Good to see you. My apologies.
00:05:26 We'll get them with the next one, Charles,
00:05:27 - Of course we will, James.
00:05:31 A fortune, James, but I am fortunate
00:05:35 - Can you?
00:05:38 - Arthur.
00:05:40 You were sorely missed
00:05:42 Was I?
00:05:43 We were beginning to wonder
00:05:47 You wanted to speak with Mr Barrie,
00:05:49 Oh, yes, but we shouldn't interrupt them,
00:05:52 I don't see why not.
00:05:54 If you ask me, the problem
00:05:58 - James.
00:05:59 You remember Mr and Mrs Snow,
00:06:01 - Mrs Snow.
00:06:03 Mr Snow.
00:06:05 The Snows have been waiting
00:06:07 - Oh, yes.
00:06:10 Your play this evening,
00:06:16 Was it?
00:06:19 Well, thank you. That's very kind of you.
00:06:26 How did you feel it went?
00:06:29 - I think I can do better.
00:06:47 - Mary? Hello?
00:06:50 I'm headed off for the park if you'd
00:06:55 You'll be working, won't you?
00:06:59 Perhaps, yes.
00:07:01 I'll let you to your work then.
00:07:12 - Morning, Mr Barrie.
00:07:18 - Have a good day, sir.
00:07:21 That's it. Go on, boy. Go get it, boy.
00:07:26 That's right. Good boy. Grab it. Good.
00:07:59 Who do you belong to?
00:08:06 Excuse me, sir,
00:08:10 Am I? So sorry.
00:08:14 I might point out
00:08:17 I have to, I'm afraid.
00:08:19 I've been put in a dungeon
00:08:23 I'm sorry if it bothers you.
00:08:26 Well, if you're trapped in the dungeon,
00:08:30 Perhaps I could slide a key to you
00:08:32 I wouldn't risk it, sir. The evil
00:08:38 I'm sorry. Is he bothering you, sir?
00:08:40 My brother can be
00:08:44 Aha, Prince George, I gather.
00:08:46 I understand you are the horrible tyrant
00:08:51 I'm not horrible really, but a firm ruler, yes.
00:08:55 And what precisely is...
00:08:58 - Michael.
00:09:01 - He's my younger brother.
00:09:04 - Fair enough. Sorry, lad. Cannot free you.
00:09:09 - Do you mind us playing with your dog?
00:09:12 This is Jack, second in line to the throne
00:09:16 And I'm in prison for it.
00:09:19 - I'm so sorry. Are my boys bothering you?
00:09:24 Michael, darling,
00:09:26 I can't. I'm in prison.
00:09:28 Oh, I see.
00:09:30 JM Barrie. Pleased to meet you.
00:09:32 JM Barrie, the author? A pleasure.
00:09:36 - Are you a writer?
00:09:38 He's a playwright, Jack.
00:09:41 - I apologize. I imagine you're writing.
00:09:43 - Where's Peter?
00:09:47 Well, currently, I make my living
00:09:54 with my trained bear, Porthos.
00:09:56 If you command your brother,
00:09:58 I am willing, Prince George,
00:10:02 in exchange for the freedom
00:10:05 - Very well.
00:10:07 Now
00:10:09 I want you to pay particular attention
00:10:16 Some unscrupulous trainers will show you
00:10:21 while other cowards
00:10:25 Only the true master would attempt these
00:10:34 - What did you bring me over here for?
00:10:37 This is absurd. It's just a dog.
00:10:42 Come on, darling.
00:10:45 - "Just a dog"? "Just"?
00:10:49 Porthos, don't listen to him.
00:10:51 Porthos dreams of being a bear
00:10:53 and you want to dash those dreams
00:10:58 What a horrible, candle-snuffing word.
00:11:00 That's like saying, "He can't climb
00:11:04 Or, "That's not a diamond, it's just a rock."
00:11:10 "Just."
00:11:14 Fine then. Turn him into a bear. If you can.
00:11:20 Peter, where are your manners?
00:11:21 With those eyes, my bonny lad,
00:11:27 However, with just a wee bit of imagination,
00:11:32 I can turn around right now and see...
00:11:36 the great bear, Porthos.
00:11:40 Dance with me.
00:12:44 Thank you. I don't think I've ever seen
00:12:48 We're here every day, and the bear
00:12:52 Well, perhaps we'll see you here
00:12:54 Perhaps.
00:12:56 - Peter, jump up please, darling. Quick.
00:12:59 Bye.
00:13:02 - Peter, didn't you enjoy that?
00:13:05 Well, Michael wanted the bear
00:13:08 and Peter insisted
00:13:11 and Porthos simply wasn't a bear at all.
00:13:16 I do very much hope to see them tomorrow.
00:13:18 - What's her name?
00:13:22 Mrs... something Davies.
00:13:27 Llewelyn Davies?
00:13:29 - You know her?
00:13:34 Why, she's a du Maurier,
00:13:36 Her father was the artist.
00:13:43 And there was something... tragic
00:13:48 Oh, yes. He died.
00:13:51 Cancer of the jaw, I believe.
00:13:54 That's horrible.
00:13:56 Yes. Apparently, he left her with four boys
00:14:03 If it wasn't for her mother's help...
00:14:10 James.
00:14:13 - We should have them to dinner.
00:14:19 Absolutely. I've always wanted
00:14:23 Why, she knows practically
00:14:41 - What are you writing about?
00:14:45 Nothing of any great consequence.
00:14:48 I can't write.
00:14:51 Have you ever kept a journal?
00:14:55 Ever tried your hand at writing a play?
00:14:59 Well, then how do you know?
00:15:02 I know. That's all.
00:15:06 I see. Where's your mother today
00:15:10 Home. Mother's got a bit of a chest cold.
00:15:15 I'm sure everyone would be happy
00:15:23 I should leave you to your writing.
00:15:29 Peter.
00:15:32 I'll see you later then.
00:15:44 Why didn't you tell me, Charles?
00:15:46 Why didn't you tell me. James?
00:15:51 I took an extended lease on the theater,
00:15:56 - I don't have another play.
00:16:02 - Won't you?
00:16:05 I need you to sign for the storage,
00:16:08 - Lower.
00:16:18 It was never meant to be taken seriously.
00:16:22 You know what happened, James?
00:16:26 - They changed what?
00:16:31 They made it important.
00:16:39 Hm?
00:16:41 What's it called?
00:16:45 What's it called?
00:16:48 - "Play."
00:17:03 Bang, bang, bang!
00:17:05 Bang!
00:17:09 Return the boy to us, you nasty Injun.
00:17:11 Our people teach boy Indian ways,
00:17:15 Our chief, Running Nose, never let him go.
00:17:19 Bang, bang, bang!
00:17:24 Me wounded, Peter. Time's short.
00:17:27 You go. Spread wings
00:17:32 Fly back to our chief.
00:17:36 That's crazy. Indians can't fly.
00:17:39 Of course they can. Go on, go on, go on.
00:17:41 Listen to us, boy.
00:17:44 Not true. We kidnap no one. You lost boy.
00:17:48 I teach you ways of the brave.
00:17:53 You are not my father.
00:17:57 Bang, bang, bang, bang!
00:17:59 - I've got him!
00:18:01 - Stop it, you two.
00:18:04 - I'm warning you.
00:18:06 Of course, you had a bit of fun
00:18:08 - Stop it, you two. Get off!
00:18:11 - Jack!
00:18:13 - Get off, George!
00:18:18 - I'm terribly sorry.
00:18:22 I'm afraid it might have been.
00:18:24 To be honest, I'm just happy you got him
00:18:28 Oh, yes, I was a tremendous success.
00:18:31 Mr Barrie, it's more
00:18:35 Peter's a different boy since his father died.
00:18:39 You know, I don't think
00:18:43 Well, grief affects us all in different ways,
00:18:46 Yes, it does.
00:18:48 Oh, by the way, my wife would like
00:18:54 Your mother as well.
00:18:58 Oh.
00:19:00 How kind. That would be lovely.
00:19:06 Well...
00:19:07 Don't you all look lovely in your little suits?
00:19:10 And, Mrs du Maurier, what a shame it is
00:19:17 How kind of you to say so.
00:19:18 Not at all. I can't tell you how many times
00:19:23 and seen your name listed
00:19:29 It's the very thing I would love to do myself
00:19:34 - if I could just find the time.
00:19:37 My problem is in finding the time
00:19:41 At the moment I am running
00:19:44 Sylvia believes she can get by
00:19:46 Mother.
00:19:48 My house is quite large enough for us all,
00:19:50 - but the idea of living with me seems...
00:19:54 - We help her keep the house in order.
00:19:57 - Where did you get your manners?
00:20:01 Mr Barrie, I understand you've become
00:20:06 - Oh, they indulge me, really.
00:20:11 The other day we took to an exploration
00:20:17 But Mr Barrie was taken ill
00:20:22 Tsetse fly. Quite horrible.
00:20:25 Yes, and he swelled to the size
00:20:27 Fingers like sausages.
00:20:29 And we had to float in him down the river
00:20:33 But the fishing was good, wasn't it?
00:20:40 James.
00:20:44 Please.
00:20:47 - Bye.
00:20:49 - Lovely evening.
00:20:51 - Good night.
00:20:58 Well, that was a disaster.
00:21:02 Painful.
00:21:08 I don't know what you mean.
00:21:10 Oh, James, please.
00:21:12 "My problem is in finding
00:21:17 - I never felt so judged in my life.
00:21:21 A grown man,
00:21:24 playing all day long with children?
00:21:27 In any case, I hardly think they'll be
00:21:31 I hadn't really thought of them that way.
00:21:36 He's been a good friend to us, Mother.
00:21:39 Yes. But what does that mean? Hm?
00:21:43 Surely you don't intend...
00:21:45 ...to keep spending your afternoons
00:21:54 And so today, ladies and gentlemen,
00:21:57 using only the wind
00:21:59 George Llewelyn Davies shall test
00:22:03 using his tethered craft. Go on, boy.
00:22:05 - Go on, George.
00:22:08 - George, stop!
00:22:10 I want to do it.
00:22:12 Hold off a bit, George.
00:22:15 Oh, wait.
00:22:19 - Here. James, this will do.
00:22:21 - No, it's not heavy enough.
00:22:23 - You coming, Peter?
00:22:27 Lt'll work this time.
00:22:29 Porthos, give us your bell. That's good.
00:22:32 - Michael?
00:22:33 - Now, would you like to give it a go?
00:22:37 - Oh, he can't run fast enough.
00:22:40 - Let him try, Jack.
00:22:43 George.
00:22:44 Come on, boys, let's go back up to the top.
00:22:48 Right, George, hold it up. Darling,
00:22:53 - Run! Run, Michael!
00:22:56 Oh.
00:22:57 - Oh, I told you this wasn't going to work.
00:23:01 It's not going to work
00:23:03 - Now, give him a chance.
00:23:05 - Come on, darling, try again.
00:23:08 Now this time, I don't want a flea's breath
00:23:15 Right. Look, I think I feel a bit
00:23:17 - You can do it, Michael.
00:23:20 - Run!
00:23:23 Yes! He did it!
00:23:26 Keep running! Keep running!
00:23:59 What are you writing about now?
00:24:02 Oh, just making notes.
00:24:04 I'm never really certain what they're about
00:24:09 Something about the kite?
00:24:14 Now, why do you ask that?
00:24:18 I don't know.
00:24:20 If I were a writer I think I could tell
00:24:25 Perhaps you should then. That's
00:24:30 I hope you haven't been talking about
00:24:35 No. Talking a bit of silliness really.
00:24:48 Can we have him for supper?
00:24:50 Have him to stay for supper, Michael.
00:24:52 You are welcome, you know.
00:24:56 Sylvia. Mr Barrie.
00:24:59 Where have you been?
00:25:01 Flying a kite, Mother,
00:25:03 I'm sorry. I didn't know
00:25:05 No? Well, apparently you forgot then.
00:25:08 - I brought some supper along for us all.
00:25:12 Well, there's no food in the house, is there?
00:25:14 Really. You don't need to wait
00:25:17 Please, Mother. Come on, darlings.
00:25:18 Wipe feet. There's been
00:25:22 George, I thought you said you were going
00:25:25 Coat, Michael, please. Yes.
00:25:28 - And... coat hanger. Good.
00:25:32 No. You're going to be helping
00:25:35 Mother, there is absolutely no need for this.
00:25:38 You can't do everything yourself.
00:25:41 Look at you. You're horribly flush.
00:25:46 Thank you for a lovely day, James.
00:25:49 So from tomorrow, we're going to have
00:25:55 And not one of you will escape.
00:26:05 - Good evening, Mr Barrie.
00:26:07 - Good evening, Mr Barrie.
00:26:19 You missed supper.
00:26:22 Perhaps I'll have something later.
00:26:26 Are you sure? It was a lovely meal. Duck.
00:26:30 Sarah let Emma cook this evening.
00:26:34 Is that right? Listen, what would you think
00:26:39 for the occasional evening?
00:26:40 They don't actually have a cook.
00:26:43 I take it Mrs Davies enjoyed the meal
00:26:50 I imagine she could use an extra hand
00:26:53 That's very charitable of you.
00:26:57 Perhaps we can send over
00:27:01 And what about linen?
00:27:03 I wouldn't be surprised if some of hers
00:27:06 Please, Mary, stop.
00:27:09 Maybe she can send over
00:27:13 My husband, for example.
00:27:17 We rarely see him in this house.
00:27:20 That hasn't seemed to bother you
00:28:08 Lords and ladies, His Royal
00:28:14 protector of the realm.
00:28:16 That scepter's made of wood.
00:28:19 Yes, well, we dream on a budget here,
00:28:23 No, I mean, everyone thinks it's made
00:28:28 The means to an end, Peter.
00:28:31 What we've done is taken
00:28:34 and transformed it for all the worid to see
00:28:40 - There you go.
00:28:43 All great writers begin with a good
00:28:50 Open it.
00:28:55 "The Boy Castaways."
00:28:57 "Being a record of the terrible adventures
00:29:02 faithfully set forth by...
00:29:06 Kipling would swallow his own ear
00:29:09 Stab him, George. You can do it.
00:29:13 I still have no idea what to write.
00:29:16 Write about anything.
00:29:18 - Write about the talking whale.
00:29:21 The one that's trapped in your imagination
00:29:31 I have actually begun writing about the
00:29:35 - A play?
00:29:38 And I would be extremely honored
00:29:41 if you would allow me the use of your name
00:29:45 I don't know what to say.
00:29:48 Say yes.
00:29:52 Good man.
00:29:53 Porthos! That's mine. Let go.
00:29:55 I won't go to bed. I won't, I won't.
00:29:58 You should have been in bed
00:30:03 I'm afraid I've grown hopelessly lax
00:30:06 Nonsense. Young boys
00:30:09 They always wake up a day older.
00:30:13 And then, before you know it,
00:30:17 Their father would have been horrified.
00:30:19 Of course, he never would have allowed
00:30:21 He'd have tied him up in the yard.
00:30:25 Right! Last one in bed's a hairy toad.
00:31:18 You mean a lot to my boys, you know.
00:31:22 Especially Peter.
00:31:26 It seems to me
00:31:32 I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't
00:31:37 when they lose someone.
00:31:43 I lost my elder brother, David,
00:31:48 And it nearly destroyed my mother.
00:31:51 James, I'm so sorry.
00:31:55 Your poor mother.
00:31:59 Aye.
00:32:02 She didn't get out of bed for months.
00:32:05 She wouldn't eat.
00:32:08 I tried everything to make her happy, but...
00:32:12 she only wanted David.
00:32:15 So...
00:32:16 one day...
00:32:19 I dressed myself in David's clothing
00:32:25 and I went to her.
00:32:27 You must have frightened her to death.
00:32:31 I think it was the first time
00:32:41 And that was the end of the boy James.
00:32:47 I used to say to myself
00:32:50 Where?
00:32:52 Neverland. It's a wonderful place.
00:33:05 I've not spoken about this before
00:33:09 Ever.
00:33:21 What's it like... Neverland?
00:33:28 One day I'll take you there.
00:33:32 Wait a minute, James.
00:33:34 Er, no. He's the irrepressible
00:33:38 - Tinker Bell is a woman?
00:33:41 He is a boy who stays young forever.
00:33:44 James, how does anyone
00:33:47 He just believes, Charles.
00:33:50 and he believes in it long enough and hard
00:33:55 James, I'm your friend.
00:33:58 - You have a man who is a fairy.
00:34:02 And this girl calls herself Tinker.
00:34:04 And you have a pirate ship on stage
00:34:08 - That's a lot of water.
00:34:10 - Yes, and that's a lot of money.
00:34:14 Oh, well, if we can fake the water
00:34:17 You know what I think I'll do? I think
00:34:20 Long enough and hard enough?
00:34:21 Yes, and then the money for the play
00:34:26 - That's right. That's it.
00:34:28 How does the clock wind up
00:34:31 - He swallows it.
00:34:35 Out!
00:34:39 How was he?
00:34:40 - Well done.
00:34:44 I finally get the courage
00:34:47 and we have to suffer
00:34:50 It's perfect actually.
00:34:51 Spend a good deal of time with them,
00:34:54 Every moment I can spare, in fact.
00:34:56 I'm glad for you.
00:34:59 And Mrs Davies seems to be
00:35:03 You should be aware though, James,
00:35:07 Mind you, I wouldn't bring it up
00:35:11 I'm not surprised. What are they saying?
00:35:16 Very well.
00:35:18 That you spend much more time with Mrs
00:35:21 She's a widow. And...
00:35:24 And a friend. That's it. Nothing more.
00:35:28 There have also been questions about
00:35:34 And why.
00:35:37 That's outrageous. How could anyone
00:35:41 They're children.
00:35:47 You find a glimmer of happiness
00:35:49 there's always someone
00:35:51 No. Thank you, Arthur, but I don't think
00:35:58 Then why is no one sitting with them?
00:36:02 Once you get a bit of notoriety, James,
00:36:05 people watch you and they will
00:36:14 Are you sure your wife doesn't
00:36:17 for the summer, James?
00:36:18 - She doesn't go there anymore.
00:36:21 It's such a relief to get away.
00:36:24 - Of course. Are we in?
00:36:27 - Can I drive, Uncle Jim?
00:36:45 Out of the way
00:36:47 Get the sheep out the way.
00:37:07 - Are we there yet?
00:37:11 I can see the cottage!
00:37:32 - Shall we explore, Michael?
00:37:35 - Come on. Follow me.
00:37:38 Hurry up, everyone.
00:37:45 - Would you like to see the rest of it?
00:38:10 'Ello!
00:38:12 Thought you could escape
00:38:15 Off to the ship with you, then.
00:38:21 So now you can either choose
00:38:26 or we'll toss you to the sharks.
00:38:29 - How marvelous.
00:38:34 - No one's escaped, Captain.
00:38:37 Now then.
00:38:38 Now is your only chance to speak.
00:38:42 Who amongst you is ready
00:38:45 - I am!
00:38:48 To enter upon
00:38:51 in your young
00:38:56 What did you say? What are doing, son?
00:38:58 Are you giggling? On my ship?
00:39:01 - I said I'm ready, Captain.
00:39:04 I'm Curly, the oldest and wisest of the crew.
00:39:07 Cut him loose, matey.
00:39:09 Welcome aboard, Curly.
00:39:14 And who be you, young squire?
00:39:17 My name be Nibs the Cut-throat. Feared
00:39:22 Jack!
00:39:23 Welcome aboard, Nibs.
00:39:28 Grab a hold of that rigging.
00:39:30 - And you, lad?
00:39:34 That's not a pirate name.
00:39:38 No. Just Peter.
00:39:41 I like my name.
00:39:44 Very well.
00:39:47 In punishment for lack of an interesting
00:39:52 Cut him loose.
00:40:17 - What are you playing again?
00:40:20 What have you got...? Excuse me.
00:40:22 Mr Barrie, sir?
00:40:25 There's been a mistake here, sir.
00:40:28 - I don't imagine I quite fit that part, eh?
00:40:33 You're a dog.
00:40:36 - What?
00:40:38 We'll put you in a great big fluffy dog suit.
00:40:40 Rrr.
00:40:44 Oh, right.
00:40:48 Actually, we don't have a Tinker Bell cast,
00:40:52 Heavens, no. Tinker Bell's a light.
00:40:56 Just a wee light
00:41:01 Bit worried about this.
00:41:04 Let's see.
00:41:07 Tiger Lily, Smee, Skylights.
00:41:11 It's a play for puppets.
00:41:15 All these names are absurd
00:41:18 Captain Hook, S...
00:41:21 Oh, hello, James.
00:41:25 You're out of your mind.
00:41:39 How were rehearsals?
00:41:42 Fine. Great. They're going... quite well.
00:41:47 - Good.
00:42:29 - Hello.
00:42:33 - How was your journey?
00:42:37 - Let's get you some tea.
00:42:42 - Can you come to the playhouse?
00:42:47 But I said I'd get him. They always
00:42:53 - It will spoil the surprise.
00:42:57 It's a great surprise. We've taken
00:43:02 - Everybody's waiting for you.
00:43:06 Please don't tell them
00:43:10 Oh, well, you didn't really tell us
00:43:12 - Yes I did. It's a play.
00:43:28 "The Lamentable Tale
00:43:31 "A play in one act
00:00:07 I just wanted to take a stab at writing,
00:00:09 Well, the others do
00:00:12 Well, let's see it then.
00:00:16 "The Lamentable Tale of Lady Ursula."
00:00:20 "One morning, just after sunrise,
00:00:22 Lady Ursula, the most beautiful daughter
00:00:26 made her way up the steps of the great
00:00:32 "Suddenly, as she reached
00:00:34 the gargoyle that guarded
00:00:37 came to life and swooped down upon her."
00:00:42 "The people of the village all ran to safety,
00:00:45 but Lady Ursula slipped
00:00:47 and the gargoyle descended upon her,
00:00:52 and taking her high up into the spires
00:00:56 - Go on, Peter.
00:01:00 a young knight named JM Barnaby
00:01:05 Sylvia.
00:01:08 - Do you want some water?
00:01:10 - No, James.
00:01:18 She won't discuss it with me at all.
00:01:22 I tell you, Doctor, she couldn't breathe.
00:01:25 You can't very well treat a patient
00:01:29 Well, you'll have to make her understand
00:01:32 - I'll try and do my best.
00:02:07 Get your hand flat like that.
00:02:10 Ow.
00:02:13 Then... Like that.
00:02:42 Come in.
00:02:53 The good doctor didn't feel
00:02:57 He thinks you need to go to hospital
00:03:00 Nonsense.
00:03:04 Besides, this family's
00:03:09 - Perhaps they can help you.
00:03:13 I saw what they did for my husband.
00:03:16 No, James. I've no interest in hospitals.
00:03:21 I'm keenly interested
00:03:53 What did you and Mother decide
00:03:58 - We hadn't decided anything.
00:04:01 I'm sick of grown-ups lying to me.
00:04:04 I'm not lying to you.
00:04:07 "Father might take us fishing,"
00:04:12 And he died the next morning.
00:04:14 That wasn't a lie, Peter.
00:04:17 That was your mother's hope.
00:04:18 He barely moved for a week,
00:04:22 I will never lie to you. I promise you that.
00:04:27 No, all you'll do is teach me
00:04:30 and pretend that things
00:04:38 I won't! I'm not blind.
00:04:41 I won't be made a fool.
00:04:44 What's this? Peter.
00:04:48 The play.
00:04:50 Darling, I wanted to see the rest of it.
00:04:55 Magic's gone out of it a bit now,
00:04:59 All because of a silly chest cold.
00:05:46 James.
00:05:50 Well, you remember Gilbert Cannan,
00:05:53 Good evening.
00:05:54 Mr Cannan has been working on the
00:06:00 I know how involved you've been as well.
00:06:03 He wanted to speak to you.
00:06:08 It's been a long evening, Mary.
00:06:12 Yes.
00:06:14 Well, if I'd realized how late it was,
00:06:16 I should perhaps talk to you
00:06:20 That will be fine.
00:06:24 We'll talk then.
00:06:26 Thank you for your patience, Mrs Barrie.
00:06:29 Mr Barrie.
00:06:31 - Good night.
00:06:51 Well, aren't you going to speak?
00:06:54 What would you like me to say?
00:06:57 "Curious how late Mr Cannan stayed,"
00:07:01 And then, let's see. What comes next?
00:07:06 "No later than you were out, James."
00:07:09 "And how is Mrs Davies this evening?"
00:07:13 Oh, yes, I would have a great answer
00:07:16 How dare you.
00:07:20 This isn't one of your plays.
00:07:22 I know that, Mary. It's quite serious.
00:07:29 But I'm not ready for this conversation,
00:07:32 Perhaps we can talk in the morning, yes?
00:09:00 Mr Barrie. Don't you agree
00:09:04 - No. No, in fact I think it's quite... baggy.
00:09:09 Quite frumpy. I'd bring it right in just there.
00:09:12 That's very tight.
00:09:14 And put maybe a plank of wood there
00:09:16 - Oh, aye. Yes, Mr Barrie.
00:09:18 Some wood there on the shoulders as well.
00:09:21 - Otherwise, it's marvelous.
00:09:37 - You'll be sick tomorrow.
00:09:44 James.
00:09:46 We're just having some tea.
00:09:50 Yes. Of course. How do you do?
00:09:56 - May I take your hat?
00:10:03 Boys, please don't run in the house.
00:10:06 Come away from that door.
00:10:08 I'd like a word with you,
00:10:11 We'll only be a few minutes.
00:10:14 Boys, why don't you go
00:10:16 - Is he in trouble?
00:10:18 Because I've been alone with Grandmother
00:10:22 - Should we retire into the study?
00:10:26 Very well.
00:10:30 - I do apologize for interrupting.
00:10:34 Certainly.
00:10:35 Sylvia has told me you have offered her
00:10:40 - Well, not exactly.
00:10:45 I'll leave that to Sylvia, of course.
00:10:48 You'll leave that to me, Mr Barrie.
00:10:50 You see, I'm moving in here from now on.
00:10:53 - You're moving in?
00:10:58 And I can certainly see to it
00:11:01 without resorting to your charity.
00:11:03 It isn't charity, Mrs du Maurier.
00:11:08 Have you no idea how much your
00:11:12 Or are you really that selfish?
00:11:15 I beg your pardon?
00:11:18 Don't you see what a visit
00:11:22 does for a widow's future prospects?
00:11:27 Sylvia needs to find someone.
00:11:34 And you are destroying any hope this
00:11:38 I have only wanted good things
00:11:42 I'll look after them.
00:11:46 You have your own family
00:11:49 What are you suggesting?
00:11:51 I'm suggesting that you protect
00:11:55 That is precisely what I am doing.
00:12:21 I was so certain what I would find in this.
00:12:25 Some little confessión
00:12:30 I don't write love notes in my journal.
00:12:32 No.
00:12:35 Still, you knew who I meant, didn't you?
00:12:39 That's some comfort, actually.
00:12:42 It means I know you just a little after all.
00:12:45 You needn't steal my journal
00:12:49 No. I suppose I could just go see the plays.
00:12:56 I was hopelessly naive when I married you.
00:13:01 I imagined that brilliant people
00:13:07 where good ideas floated around
00:13:12 And I hoped, at least once...
00:13:18 you would take me there with you.
00:13:21 There is no such place.
00:13:25 Yes, there is.
00:13:29 Neverland.
00:13:33 It's the best you've written, James.
00:13:36 And I'm sure the Davies will adore
00:13:40 I only wish I were part of it.
00:13:44 I've wanted you to be. I've tried.
00:13:52 Mary.
00:13:53 I always imagined us going off on
00:13:58 But we moved into this house
00:14:02 - you started rearranging the furniture.
00:14:06 You were always gone.
00:14:07 I was right here.
00:14:09 Sitting in your parlor, staring off
00:14:17 Look. Just give me bit more time
00:14:20 To spend with your muse?
00:14:22 No, I'm tired of waiting, James.
00:14:29 Well, I can't very well give up the play.
00:14:33 Of course not.
00:14:36 Just come home to me at the end of
00:14:42 No more trips to the country,
00:14:47 If you can't give us that much of a chance,
00:14:51 then we must end this.
00:14:55 And I will.
00:15:03 Pitiful display.
00:15:11 Nanny. Nanny.
00:15:13 What?
00:15:18 First you get the pajamas,
00:15:21 With my paws?
00:15:24 You make the bed with your paws.
00:15:28 Because in fact, being a dog,
00:15:33 Well, I don't have any teeth, either.
00:15:35 I mean, I can't see. I can't breathe.
00:15:38 All I've got is this rubbery snout.
00:15:44 - Can we get him some teeth?
00:15:48 We'll get you teeth.
00:15:51 - Let's have a wee break, shall we?
00:15:57 - I thought you were wonderful.
00:15:59 I think you're better on four legs
00:16:01 - Oh, give it a rest.
00:16:05 - Just say it, Charles, go on.
00:16:08 Opening night, doctors, lawyers,
00:16:12 all dressed to the nines.
00:16:14 They've paid good money, they're
00:16:18 The curtain opens and it's crocodiles
00:16:23 I don't even know what it is.
00:16:27 But you did know, Charles. You're
00:16:31 Oh, don't patronize me, James.
00:16:33 You know how much money I put into
00:16:36 Listen, listen. Opening night,
00:16:40 - Set aside? 25?
00:16:41 Scattered throughout the theater.
00:16:44 - Are they paying for it?
00:16:46 - No, no, no. I'm asking...
00:16:49 - Uncle Jim?
00:16:52 Could I speak to you for a moment,
00:16:53 Certainly.
00:16:55 25 seats, Charles. It'll be great.
00:16:58 25 scattered seats?
00:16:59 Throughout the theater.
00:17:01 - Who's paying for these 25 seats?
00:17:04 Whoa. Look.
00:17:06 This is great. I'm flying.
00:17:09 We don't need to use much pull at all, see?
00:17:14 Mother asked me to take the boys out
00:17:16 She said she only wanted a bit of quiet,
00:17:19 but she was trembling so badly
00:17:23 I'm not a fool, Uncle James.
00:17:27 I don't know the truth.
00:17:30 But you think it's serious?
00:17:35 It could be. The doctor felt
00:17:38 Then you'll have to convince her
00:17:40 I've tried. She won't listen to me.
00:17:43 And lately, to be quite honest,
00:17:44 it seems that all my best intentions for
00:17:49 Apparently I've made
00:17:52 It's Grandmother, isn't it?
00:17:55 Oh, she's absolutely tried with great effort.
00:18:00 It isn't you, Uncle Jim. She just...
00:18:03 She just doesn't want
00:18:11 Look at that.
00:18:14 How magnificent.
00:18:18 The boy's gone.
00:18:23 Somewhere during the last 30 seconds,
00:18:27 Right then. I think you should be the one
00:18:32 - But I wouldn't know what to say.
00:18:38 Mr Barrie, sir. Sorry to interrupt.
00:18:41 - It's Nana, he's expired backstage.
00:18:45 I think his costume is too tight.
00:18:48 It's not possible, too tight.
00:18:57 Pull that one tight.
00:19:03 OK. Flap those wings.
00:19:06 - There you go.
00:19:09 - Can I have a go?
00:19:11 Give that a tug. Go on.
00:19:13 - Just give it a little pull.
00:19:15 - In a minute. In a minute.
00:19:17 - Jack. Pull me higher.
00:19:19 - Stop it now, boys.
00:19:20 Stop mucking about, boys. Come on now.
00:19:22 - I want to do it now.
00:19:24 What are you...?
00:19:28 Ow!
00:19:34 Oh, no. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
00:19:36 - I'm so sorry.
00:19:46 Mr Barrie?
00:19:47 Mrs Davies would like a word with you.
00:19:51 No, just Mr Barrie.
00:20:10 - Did you encourage this?
00:20:15 Oh, James, please.
00:20:20 George won't allow them to set his arm
00:20:28 I see. Well, I suppose you'll have to then,
00:20:31 because he's quite a stubborn young man
00:20:37 This is absurd.
00:20:41 Different?
00:20:44 So you've already spoken to a doctor then?
00:20:47 That is not your concern.
00:20:55 My understanding
00:20:59 However... my wish is that
00:21:05 So,
00:21:07 I'll have the examination,
00:21:10 and I'll take whatever medications
00:21:13 But I don't want to know what they're for.
00:21:16 And I don't want you inquiring into it
00:21:21 Wouldn't dream of it.
00:21:42 Mary?
00:21:46 Mary?
00:22:09 Peter, could you help George
00:22:12 - They're in the linen cupboard. Darling?
00:22:16 Jack, how do you manage
00:22:20 Would you check your shirt-tails
00:22:22 Yes, Mother.
00:22:24 You're not planning on attending
00:22:26 Only for a short time if we do. The tickets!
00:22:30 - With the children?
00:22:32 Um, possibly. Would you see
00:22:35 - I'll just check the dressing table.
00:22:39 Mother, please see if George has
00:22:43 Wait here, don't move.
00:23:20 Take her feet, George.
00:23:25 We'll need some more blankets.
00:23:29 Oh, take Michael with you, would you?
00:23:34 She looks much worse
00:23:39 Sh, Michael.
00:23:42 - Those 25 seats, has anyone shown up?
00:23:45 Precisely. Have there been
00:23:48 - Yes, sir.
00:23:49 I suggest you start selling them.
00:23:51 Have you seen any of the Davies family
00:23:53 The 25 seats, are they filled?
00:23:54 - It's taken care of.
00:23:56 Who did you invite? Because obviously
00:23:59 - The seats will be filled, I promise.
00:24:02 - Charles?
00:24:04 Have you seen the Davies family
00:24:05 No, sir.
00:24:07 - Jack has gone to get Dr Brighton.
00:24:10 Yes, you do, dear.
00:24:14 I think I'll get some camomile
00:24:17 Peter will be here if you need anything.
00:24:27 Peter.
00:24:29 Peter.
00:24:39 Can I do anything, Mother?
00:24:42 No, darling.
00:24:45 You must go to the play.
00:24:49 - I can't do that.
00:24:53 I need you to.
00:24:55 I need you to come back tonight
00:25:00 Please.
00:25:02 It's only a play, Mother.
00:25:05 It doesn't matter.
00:25:12 What do you want?
00:25:15 Take it out.
00:25:20 Open it.
00:25:32 I've never been so proud of you.
00:25:48 Last call, please, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:51 Yes, yes, yes. It's all right. They know.
00:25:54 We had time to sell those 25 seats.
00:26:10 - Charles.
00:26:11 - They're here.
00:26:18 Do forgive them being a bit late -
00:26:22 I'm not clear what they're doing here.
00:26:24 - They've come to see the play.
00:26:26 - That's the 25 seats.
00:26:28 25 seats given to orphans. Right.
00:26:32 You can start your play now.
00:26:35 Your play.
00:26:42 Get them in the scattered seats.
00:27:00 Just there, boys.
00:27:34 Excuse me, sir. This way.
00:27:37 Thank you.
00:27:40 Looks like we got
00:27:43 I just want you to know,
00:27:48 Thanks.
00:28:50 I won't go to bed. I won't. I won't.
00:28:54 Nana, it isn't six o'clock yet.
00:28:56 Two minutes more.
00:28:58 Please. One minute more.
00:29:00 Nana, I will not be bathed.
00:29:10 Who are you?
00:29:19 No one there. Yet I feel sure I saw a face.
00:29:25 My children.
00:29:29 - How is she?
00:29:32 - May I see her?
00:29:34 I don't think we need to include you in
00:29:37 - But she'd want to see him.
00:29:39 And since, as I've discovered,
00:29:41 you've seen fit to conceal certain facts
00:29:45 I feel no remorse at excluding you
00:29:48 But you can't...
00:29:49 - Go upstairs, George, now.
00:29:53 This isn't your home. It's our home.
00:29:55 Just cos Mother's
00:29:57 doesn't give you the right
00:29:59 She's not a child anymore,
00:30:02 If she wants to see Uncle Jim,
00:30:05 There's nothing you can do about it.
00:30:11 - Mother?
00:30:17 James.
00:30:19 No. Your play.
00:30:25 Look at all this.
00:30:28 I'd have come tonight, it's just...
00:30:30 - Mother, you need to rest.
00:30:35 See? This needs mending.
00:30:38 Four boys, no end of patches.
00:30:41 Can't seem to keep up.
00:30:45 I haven't the time for all this.
00:30:49 Don't look at me like that, James.
00:30:56 Boys, would you give me a moment
00:31:22 They can see it, you know.
00:31:26 You can't go on just pretending.
00:31:29 "Just pretending"?
00:31:34 You brought pretending
00:31:40 You showed us we can change things
00:31:43 A lot of things, Sylvia, not everything.
00:31:45 But the things that matter.
00:31:49 We've pretended for some time now
00:32:01 You've come to mean so much to us all
00:32:11 And even if it isn't true,
00:32:15 even if that can never be...
00:32:20 I need to go on pretending.
00:32:25 Until the end.
00:32:30 With you.
00:32:33 - Oh, I am sweet.
00:32:37 You just think lovely, wonderful thoughts
00:32:45 You are so nippy at it.
00:32:54 Yes, I've got it now, Wendy.
00:32:58 I must blow fairy dust on you first.
00:33:11 Now try. Try it from the beds.
00:33:14 Just wriggle your shoulders like this
00:33:20 - I flew!
00:33:24 Now join hands.
00:33:30 - Look at me!
00:33:35 - Bravo!
00:33:38 Second on the right
00:33:42 Genius.
00:33:48 - Sylvia, don't move.
00:33:53 It's been a bad day, that's all.
00:33:58 Now I want you to go back to the theater.
00:34:01 Find Peter.
00:34:04 - Of course.
00:34:11 Are you sure there's nothing else
00:34:16 No.
00:34:20 Well,
00:34:22 I have always wanted to go to Neverland.
00:34:26 You did promise to tell me about it,
00:34:29 Aye. That I did.
00:34:33 It's a bit late for it tonight though, I'm afraid.
00:34:38 Perhaps some time soon though?
00:34:49 Most definitely.
00:34:51 - D'you mean we shall both be drowned?
00:35:00 It must be the tail of the kite
00:35:03 You remember. It tore itself
00:35:10 - The kite. Why shouldn't it carry you?
00:35:15 It can't lift two. Michael and Curly tried.
00:35:19 I won't go without you, Peter.
00:35:22 Let us draw lots which is to stay behind.
00:35:24 And you a lady? Never.
00:35:30 Ready, Wendy?
00:35:32 Peter!
00:35:34 Don't let go, Wendy.
00:35:36 Peter, I'm frightened.
00:35:39 Hang on, Wendy!
00:35:43 Peter!
00:35:45 To die will be an awfully big adventure.
00:36:05 - I'm glad you came.
00:36:09 I've never missed an opening.
00:36:13 So I...
00:36:16 assume you heard about Gilbert and I.
00:36:19 Yes.
00:36:22 Quite the scandal, so I'm told.
00:36:32 How are you?
00:36:39 I'm all right.
00:36:42 How are you?
00:36:45 I'm sorry.
00:36:51 Don't be.
00:36:54 Without that family, you could
00:36:59 You need them.
00:37:08 Goodbye.
00:37:22 - Mr Barrie.
00:37:25 Thank you. That was quite the nicest
00:37:29 Very kind of you to say. Thank you.
00:37:33 Oh.
00:37:34 I'm afraid he's left us.
00:37:37 And he would so have loved this evening.
00:37:40 The pirates and the Indians.
00:37:43 He was really just a boy himself, you know.
00:37:47 To the very end.
00:37:49 I'm terribly sorry. How are you doing?
00:37:53 I'm doing well enough now, thank you.
00:37:57 I suppose it's all the work
00:38:02 Time is chasing after all of us.
00:38:08 - That's right, Mrs Snow.
00:38:11 Thank you. I mustn't keep you.
00:38:15 Well, it's lovely to see you.
00:38:20 - Was that Mr Barrie?
00:38:24 Well done, Mr Barrie.
00:38:27 - Good show.
00:38:33 Psst.
00:38:36 What did you think?
00:38:39 - It's about our summer together, isn't it?
00:38:42 - About all of us.
00:38:46 Did you like it?
00:38:49 It's magical. Thank you.
00:38:52 Oh, thank you.
00:38:54 Thank you, Peter.
00:38:56 - This is Peter Pan! How wonderful.
00:39:01 You're Peter Pan? Why, you must be
00:39:04 Look, it's true.
00:39:08 But I'm not Peter Pan.
00:39:11 He is.
00:39:24 And there's been no improvement
00:39:29 No.
00:39:36 Has James been by at all today, Mother?
00:39:42 Dr Brighton. May I have a word?
00:39:46 Excuse me a moment.
00:39:53 You haven't been keeping him from me,
00:39:56 As a matter of fact,
00:39:59 Would have proved me wrong about him.
00:40:02 Of course, with the success of his play,
00:40:04 the whole of London
00:40:11 I'm sorry, dear.
00:40:17 - What is it?
00:40:20 - Quiet, Michael.
00:40:24 Mother, could you come downstairs
00:40:27 Oh, she can't come downstairs.
00:40:30 Actually, I think a trip downstairs
00:40:43 - What have you been up to?
00:40:55 It's a play.
00:40:57 It's not just a play, Michael. It's the play.
00:41:02 Of course, we'll have to make do
00:41:06 Much of it will have to be imagined.
00:41:08 - As it should be.
00:41:20 Michael, come and sit here,
00:41:27 When you're ready.
00:41:55 I won't go to bed. I won't. I won't.
00:41:58 Nana, it isn't six o'clock yet.
00:42:04 - You know fairies, Peter?
00:42:08 But they're nearly all dead now.
00:42:11 You see, Wendy, when the first baby
00:42:16 the laugh broke into a thousand pieces
00:42:20 and that was the beginning of fairies.
00:42:22 And now when every new baby is born,
00:42:27 So there ought to be one fairy
00:42:31 - Ought to be? Isn't there?
00:42:34 Children know such a lot now.
00:42:39 And every time a child says,
00:42:42 there's a fairy somewhere
00:42:49 Who is that?
00:42:54 The redskins were defeated?
00:42:57 Wendy and the boys
00:43:01 I'll rescue her. I'll rescue her!
00:43:06 - Oh, that's just my medicine.
00:43:09 Poisoned? Who could have poisoned it?
00:43:15 Why, Tink. You've drunk my medicine.
00:43:21 It was poisoned.
00:43:25 And you drank it to save my life?
00:43:30 Tink.
00:43:34 Are you dying?
00:43:41 Her light is growing faint.
00:43:45 If it goes out, that means she's dead.
00:43:51 Her voice is so low I can scarcely hear
00:43:55 She says she thinks
00:43:58 if children believed in fairies.
00:44:08 Do you believe in fairies?
00:44:12 Say quick that you believe.
00:44:18 If you believe, clap your hands.
00:44:23 Clap louder.
00:44:31 Thank you. Thank you.
00:45:18 That is Neverland.
00:46:44 So many perfect days.
00:46:48 I really began to believe
00:46:53 Oh, stop it.
00:46:55 She wasn't going to stay with you forever.
00:46:59 She had a husband. My father.
00:47:02 She never cared for you
00:47:07 I'm not trying to replace your father, Peter.
00:47:11 I could never do that.
00:47:21 You'd best let him go.
00:47:25 George, would you take the boys back
00:47:31 Go on, dear.
00:47:41 I'm terribly sorry.
00:47:44 I've ruined everything I've touched
00:47:47 Stop giving yourself so much credit.
00:47:50 Peter's grieving.
00:47:55 Perhaps if I just had
00:47:58 No, Mr Barrie. That won't be good enough.
00:48:01 If "a bit more time" is all you can provide,
00:48:09 I know you don't much care for me,
00:48:13 but I loved your daughter very much.
00:48:17 And I love those boys.
00:48:19 And I think they need me right now.
00:48:21 Is that so?
00:48:23 And for how long after?
00:48:27 Meaning what?
00:48:29 Sylvia has requested a co-guardianship
00:48:34 You, Mr Barrie, and myself.
00:48:41 - And what do you have to say about that?
00:48:47 Something I should have done more of
00:48:53 But if you feel you're not ready
00:48:55 I assure you I can certainly
00:49:01 Do you think I could abandon those boys?
00:49:13 Sit down, Peter.
00:49:36 Mother pasted it back together
00:49:39 after I ruined it.
00:49:43 And then I saw the play.
00:49:45 I just started writing
00:49:51 She would be very pleased to know that.
00:49:58 Listen. I've just spoken
00:50:04 and I'm staying.
00:50:06 For good.
00:50:11 I'm sorry I was so horrible.
00:50:15 Don't worry.
00:50:20 It's just...
00:50:23 I thought she'd always be here.
00:50:28 So did I.
00:50:32 But, in fact...
00:50:37 she is.
00:50:40 Because she's on every page
00:50:46 You'll always have her there. Always.
00:50:55 But why did she have to die?
00:51:06 I don't know, boy.
00:51:13 When I think of your mother...
00:51:16 I will always remember
00:51:19 sitting there in the parlor,
00:51:22 watching a play about her family.
00:51:25 About her boys that never grew up.
00:51:32 She went to Neverland.
00:51:37 And you can visit her any time you like
00:51:42 if you just go there yourself.
00:51:47 How?
00:51:50 By believing, Peter.
00:51:53 Just believe.
00:52:09 I can see her.
