This classic English comedy is elevated by serious undertones concerning the class structure of British society during the early 20th century. First produced in 1902, the show was adapted for radio and television and has been frequently revived on the stage, including a well-remembered 1989 production featuring Edward Fox and Rex Harrison.
Author Biography
Scottish author, playwright, and novelist Sir James Matthew Barrie (1860-1937) is best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan. Although he wrote several other books and plays that were extremely popular in their day, Barrie's lasting fame rests upon the stories inspired by a family of boys he befriended during an outing in London's Kensington Gardens.
