Review of Peter Pan

    During the weekend, we watched a drama show which was produced by students. It was about Peter Pan, a famous Disney film, but this was my first time seeing it.  The story started with a conversation between a family. I saw some familiar people and I heard some familiar voices. That was my friend John who was acting Mr.Darling, the father. I was surprised my friend acting so well with various intonation and perfect emotion. He was not even a native English speaker. It was so amazing to see him behaving so well on a stage during a show. Another person that caught my eyes was a "human" with dog costume. I guessed he must be acting the dog Nana of this family. It was funny to see William"the dog" barking and pretending to be a real dog.

    Overall, Peter Pan was a story talking about a magic boy Peter Pan who was trying to find his shadow in The Darlings' house. While he was searching the shadow, he fortuitously met a girl named Wendy who was the children of the Darlings. Wendy helped him to fix the shadow, and in return, Peter Pan taught her and her brothers John and Michael to fly. After that Peter Pan brought them to the Neverland to see his friends. At Neverland, Wendy became their mother because those boys here need one. However, Captain Hook the bad guy came. He fought Peter Pan and Peter Pan's friend. At the first time, Peter successfully defended his friends, but things did not last peacefully. Captain Hook came again and caught all of Peter's friend. Peter Pan had to go save them, and at last he used his intelligence and strong power "defeat" Captain Hook. And Wendy and her brothers finally got back home, and they got back with their family member.Peter and Wendy can see each other one time a year. 

    In the show, all of the actor acted out their role's characteristic. It was an interesting and well performing show. From this show, I knew what the story of Peter Pan is talking about though I haven't watched the Disney version before. Now I understand why Peter Pan did not want to grow up, and he did not want his friend to grow up. He did not want to be alone. As every body else were growing up into a man or lady, Peter did not have any changes. Peter more like to be a boy who was naive and having fun with friends.
