Really Deep Thoughts

Traditionally, the same actor plays Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in Peter Pan.
Does anyone else find that creepy?

It's a little creepy, I suppose.
But it's also a matter of convenience, as Mr. Darling and Hook do not appear on stage at the same time and otherwise the actor playing George Darling would have nothing to do for most of the play until the end.

It's also because the father, to the kids, represents the "mean adult" and Hook is a fantastical extreme of it, allowing them to realize the good (and good intentions) of their father had been there all along when compared to the Captain.

Hope that helps. :)

And take a look at the new Pan adventure that's based on Barrie's own idea for more! just click my name.

BELIEVE!
