In this lively and engaging four-act play, Peter Pan author J. M. Barrie tackles the touchy subject of women's roles in marriage with his trademark wit and insight. In an agreement more akin to a business transaction than a whirlwind romance, the Wylies secure the engagement of their good-hearted but plain daughter Maggie to an up-and-coming law student. Over the years, Maggie quietly works her magic behind the scenes, engineering her husband's stratospheric rise. But will it be enough to win his love and respect?

J. M. Barrie

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) was fascinated by stories of his mother's life. He was determined to write, and worked on the Nottingham Journal after graduating from Edinburgh University.

In 1885 he successfully sold the Auld Licht Idylls, which were based on his mother's tales. By the time Peter Pan opened on the London stage in 1904, Barrie had written more than thirty novels and plays, such as Quality Street and The Admirable Crichton. He was created a baronet in 1913 and awarded the Order of Merit in 1922.
