ACT THREE

Scene One

The LOST BOYS, with MICHAEL and JOHN, stand crowded around the body of PETER PAN. Their heads are bowed, sniffing can be heard. TINK stands in elaborate mourning dress.

TINK. It were ’eartbreaking – best fight I’ve ever seen him fight – so – blinkin’ – brave. And final moment, before he went – last thing he said, ‘Take me to the Lost Boys – have ’em lean in real close and whisper their biggest wish and I’ll make it true’ – go on, boys – on you go.

TINK turns away and can barely conceal a grin. The BOYS all lean in at the same time, bending their heads down to PETER.

PETER (leaps up). Rah!

The BOYS jump out of their skin. TINK and PETER roll around laughing and high-five. The BOYS chase PETER and TINK. PETER and TINK peg it, round and round – it becomes hysterically joyous. The cloud of laughing boys dissipates and exits to reveal…

MR DARLING in his hat and coat, desperately searching for his wife.

MR DARLING. Mary? Mary? Where are you? Mary?

MRS DARLING, suitcase in hand, walks on – alone.

The LOST BOYS dash on again. MR DARLING exits. The LOST BOYS chase offstage to reveal – WENDY tied and bound, back to back with TIGER LILY on the edge of the lagoon.

MRS DARLING looks up at the sky.

WENDY. Mother, if you’re out there – and you can hear me, if you’re looking up at the same sky – will you help me? Will you tell me what to do?

MRS DARLING exits.

TIGER LILY. You’re on your own.

WENDY. Maybe Hook has Tom.

TIGER LILY. And if he does? Then what?

WENDY. Then we save him.

TIGER LILY. We’re in chains, Wendy. I’m injured. That boat is crawling with pirates, it’s over.

WENDY. Not yet.

TIGER LILY. Yes yet – it was you thinking you was braver than you were that got us /

WENDY. / I said I’m sorry.

TIGER LILY. Yeah and I said stay out of it, but as we discovered – what Wendy says and what Wendy does /

WENDY. / I made it very clear that I wasn’t a good fighter.

TIGER LILY. Then you nicked my dagger like a tough guy and /

WENDY. / We’ve all got our strengths.

TIGER LILY. Remind me of yours?

TIGER LILY winces in pain.

WENDY. Are you okay?

TIGER LILY. Apart from the big hole in my leg – yeah.

WENDY. I can’t believe Peter did that to you.

TIGER LILY. Nothing stands between him and Hook. I’d have done the same if I hadn’t been /

WENDY. / I SAID I’M SORRY.

TIGER LILY. I swore I’d avenge my family before I died.

Pause.

WENDY. I’ll fix this, I promise. I’ll think of something.

TIGER LILY. Sure you will.

WENDY (screaming to the skies). Peter!

TIGER LILY shakes her head.

TIGER LILY. That boy don’t care ’bout anyone but himself. As I said – you’re on your own. Everyone is.

DOC SWAIN enters.

DOC SWAIN. ’Ello ’ello ’ello. It’s time for you two to see the Captain.

DOC SWAIN exits with WENDY and TIGER LILY. The LOST BOYS, MICHAEL and JOHN all come charging in again.
