"Wendy, Darling is a contemporary, full-length musical comedy based on J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. Telling the story from Wendy’s perspective, we discover what happens to Neverland and its beautiful cast of characters between the end of Peter Pan and J.M. Barrie’s epilogue "When Wendy Grew up", and how Wendy came to have her baby, Janey.The pixie dust of Neverland has started to wear off, and edging on 40, Wendy and Peter have hit a bit of an existential midlife crisis. Namely, Wendy wants to have a baby and settle down, and Peter, well, Peter is not ready to ‘grow up’. What is the point in growing up anyway? Isn’t their love enough? What’s better than a life of sex, pixie dust and rock n’ roll? But Hook lingers with his clocks, reminding Wendy that time does tick on and some clocks stop for good. The other colourful cast of characters – Tink, Tiger Lily and Hook – all play their roles in highlighting Wendy’s wild array of 21st century options. What’s a woman with choice to choose? More than a stereotypical battle of the sexes, Wendy, Darling takes a story from our cultural collective unconscious and brings into a more progressive and present light."
