Theater review,
‘The Terrible Tragedy of Peter Pan’
at House Theatre in ChicagoBy Chris Jones
“J. M. Barrie’s famous 1904 tale of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys is fertile ground for post-modern exploration.”
See also the Stephen King novel
(Forget the movie, which does not even mention William Golding.)
For a somewhat more cheerful variation on the Lost Boys theme, see the new
Kingdom Hearts game.
Of course, mature audiences might react to this Disney production by recalling the classic question, “Why did Mickey Mouse divorce Minnie Mouse?”
