  Honestly the fact a timeless children’s classic is your favourite book just makes my heart so so happy

  When I saw a revival of Peter Pan on Broadway, Tinker Bell's death scene moved a toddler to call out so loudly the show stopped momentarily and then the theatre erupted with applause.

  Not me crying over my coffee because Merph is so passionate about Peter Pan

  Merphy is tearing up when talking about the theme of motherhood and adopting the lost boys. Without knowing anything about her, you know she's a loving mother

  My grandmother died earlier this year and on clearing her house one of the things I chose to keep was her 1931 edition of Peter Pan which she was given brand new as a child. I reread it again and I will always treasure it.

  “Their windows were open for every kid.” Merphy.... YOU ARE WENDY! As topsy turvey as Peter Pan is... look at your own name! Turn “M” and “p” upside down, and you almost have the spelling of “Wendy.” No wonder this story resonates with you: you and your parents lived out the lives of the Darlings without even knowing it!

  Peter’s entire character is consistent of a child. From going back and forth with &nbsp;his emotions along as his forgetfulness is exactly who I was as a boy.

  I&apos;m glad that this is Merphy&apos;s last video in 2020.

  Oh, Merphy. I can feel your emotion and you trying to keep yourself together during this beautiful review and insight into your world, thank you. I’m estranged from my father, through his choosing, and so I identify with Peter when his parents closed the windows on him. When I read Peter Pan recently, for me it was about loss... and a stolen childhood. Even though he ‘chooses’ to stay in his childhood, in a way he doesn’t choose it, he is fixed in it. And we see this because he does have emotional intelligence, and that he does have parts of him that are grown up. But we see him purposely push boundaries and hold people afar. It’s painful x

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyEzFrnrhOA&amp;t=1376">22:56</a> Taht scene makes sense only in the play. In it Peter asks kids in the audience &quot;Do you belive in faires?&quot;, and then kids are clapping. But in the book... that&apos;s just silly.
