Peter Pan Auditions

Mr. Darling Mrs. Darling John Darling Michael Darling

Mr. Darling (Sharp and Harshly) He’s a parasite! !Mrs. Darling George! What your father means to say is that Peter Pan is evil. !John What does he do that’s so evil? !Mr. Darling At the dead of night, usually when the parents are somehow unable to reach the sleeping place of children, he takes you far, far away. !Mrs. Darling He takes you to a place he calls ‘The Neverland’ where you could find yourself confronting your worst fears. Then, once you’ve been there for a few days and he’s bored of you, you’ll end up having to go back home. Perhaps even having to find your own way home. !Michael Anyone can find their way home! !Mr. Darling Some children only just make it home…others aren’t so lucky. !John I don’t believe you! !Mr. Darling Well then you might as well just leave the window unlocked and invite him in! !Michael I don’t want to go to Neverland! !Mrs. Darling Then tell your sister to stop telling you those stories. It’s the only way. I’ll have a word with Wendy. Maybe she could tell you the Cinderella story instead! !John & Michael Euck! Girls!! !(Mr. and Mrs. Darling Laugh) !Mrs. Darling Now go and have your baths! !

Mr. Darling Mrs. Darling John Darling Michael Darling

-Exit John and Michael !Mr. Darling What are we going to do? What if this Peter Pan actually comes? !Mrs. Darling Please don’t talk like that. I’ve been finding leaves on their bedroom floor, blue leaves. !Mr. Darling That’s impossible! !Mrs. Darling And the other night, I saw a boy jump out the nursery window! He jumped as soon as he saw me. He was looking over at Wendy’s bed when the children were at school. I then ran to the ground floor and there were no remains! !Mr. Darling Well it is a three floor drop onto the pavement! !Mrs. Darling No! There was nothing there! It was as if he just flew off! !Mr. Darling Tomorrow, I’m going to put bars upon that window and a strong lock. For tonight, we’ll have to just prey nothing happens whilst we’re at the party.
