Inspired by an address given by J.M. Barrie to the students of St Andrew’s University in Scotland 1922, this is an intimate look into the life of the celebrated writer.

Instructing the students on how to go about living the courageous life, Barrie speaks with regard to the heroes that he has known during his lifetime, each an example of courage in the face of adversity.

He tells of his youth, of his bed-ridden and emotionally demanding mother, of his career and tragic marriage and of his remarkable friendship with the five Llewelyn Davies boys which would lead to his creation of Peter Pan.

This one-man show, which is written using Barrie’s own words, is charming, often moving and truly inspiring. Gain an insight into the life of one of Britain’s most prestigious writers and experience a piece of history that resonates with people just as much today as it did 93 years ago.
