    A delightful adaptation of the J.M. Barrie classic. Expertly using sound effects, Michael Lin's audio script allows for the imagination to soar, and one is swept up in the oft-told tale with a renewed sense of child-like wonder and enchantment.

    A great radio script that adapts the source material brilliantly. Fun and clever Foley sound effects, and the moments encouraging audience participation make it a great show to keep young audience members engaged.
