Like Starring Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, and Dustin Hoffman, ‘Finding Neverland’ follows directly after the dismal reception of J.M Barrie’s latest play, Little Mary, when he meets widowed Sylvia and her four young sons in Kensington Gardens. He proves to be a great playmate and surrogate father figure for the boys, and their imaginative antics inspire him to write a play about boys who do not want to grow up. Barrie’s producer skeptically agrees to mount Peter Pan despite his belief it holds no appeal for upper-class theatergoers. Barrie places children from a nearby orphanage in the audience for the opening night show and the adults present react to their infectious delight with an appreciation of their own. The play proves to be a huge success. Starring, in alphabetical order: Julie Christie, Johnny Depp, Dustin Hoffman, Radha Mitchell, Kate Winslet
