Playwright J.M. Barrie finds inspiration for his new work through his friendship with a widowed mother and her four young boys. Their imaginative games in the park provide a welcome escape from his stifling marriage and the pressures of the London theatre scene. This friendship becomes the catalyst for his creation of the timeless masterpiece, Peter Pan.
