The culture clash between the fascination of childhood fantasy and real life provides a rich vein for humour and drama as this original story explores the hopes and dreams of one young officer on the eve of battle with a copy of Peter Pan in his pocket. When sleep begins to blur his dreams and reality, fact and fiction become entangled and he finds himself central to one final “awfully big adventure” with the grown-up Wendy, John, Michael and Tinker Bell.
