The Admirable Crichton October 6, 2012

J.M. Barrie is best known as the creative inspiration behind 'Peter Pan.' While viewers will recognize the playwright's whimsy, this play is unlike anything ever seen. Starting in an aristocratic English setting, the title character has fulfilled his life's aspirations by becoming a butler. And, next thing you know, Crichton and the rest are stranded on a deserted island. What good is a butler on a deserted island? Thes results are surprising. Not just any playwright could make the pieces fit, but Barrie does it with charm, humor and irony to spare.
