Peter Panic
About this book
The country's in turmoil, the spring is sprung, there's about to be a coup, a woman has been found murdered, her unborn child stolen from her womb, things can't get any worse; wait until Peter Pan turns up. Peter Panic exposes the devilish side of J.M. Barrie's eternal child making the audience recoil in fascination as they are asked whether child monsters are essential for sociological function. Peter Panic is a deliciously frightening, dangerously familiar, dystopian world of tomorrow.

A child’s bedroom on the upper floor of a large Victorian town house. The room is messy and untidy with children’s games and half completed arts and crafts projects. Clothes drawers are pulled open and their contents are strewn all around. There is an empty laundry basket yet there are plenty of dirty clothes. Up stage is a large open window besides which is an air conditioning unit. Through the window we can see it is dusk – this is the only source of light. We can hear a large angry crowd in the streets nearby. Throughout the play the sound of unrest grows, gunshots, sirens and helicopters are heard intermittently. The Westminster Chimes introduce the passing of the hour and we hear Big Ben toll eleven times.
A man, STEPHEN, enters. He flicks the light switch by the door, nothing happens. He steps through the detritus and stands by the open window looking out. He unfastens a few buttons of his shirt and untucks it from his trousers. He tries to encourage air flow by moving the fabric. He kicks the air conditioning unit. A woman enters, WENDY, she wears a sympathetic smile.
WENDY: | Is she dead? |
STEPHEN: | Not yet. |
WENDY: | Have they found it? |
