'‘To fall in love, really in love, would be an awfully big adventure…”
Stretching across 1920′s Eton, Paris and Oxford, The Death Of Peter Pan tells a story of suppressed passions, admirations and love. Michael Llewelyn Davies, J. M. Barrie’s favourite adopted son and part inspiration for the character of Peter Pan, finds himself swept up by the charms of the free-spirited Rupert Buxton. Impulsive and uninhibited, Buxton is the very embodiment of everything Michael has been looking for to challenge the foundations of his conventional life. But as their bond deepens more powerful then they ever thought possible, the two young men make a decision that will forever meld their destinies, but shatter all around them.'
