Peter and Wendy (film)

Peter and Wendy is a 2015 television film made for ITV in the UK.[1] It was written by Adrian Hodges and directed by Diarmuid Lawrence.[2]

The film is based on the story of Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie, blending it with an original narrative set in the present day. The film draws a connection between the stories of Barrie and the real life Great Ormond Street Hospital, echoing sentiments shared by Barrie himself, who left all the rights to Peter Pan to the hospital in 1929, a few years before his death.

It was first broadcast on 26 December 2015 and received positive reviews for the bold and emotional re-imagining of the classic children's tale.[3]
