Finding Neverland

In London in 1904, playwright JM Barrie had white page syndrome.
As he works on a new play, he acknowledges that there is nothing original and that the characters and plot are recycled from other plays he wrote. He is disheartened at the thought of his career ending so quickly.

He meets a charming widow, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, and her four sons: George, Peter, Jack and Michael at Kensington Park. They embark on adventures full of imagination - with the exception of Peter, unwilling to play. Peter is still in shock over his father's death. As Barrie helps Peter relearn how to act, his writing block gives way to a new art form: children's theater.
But adults are skeptical: who will pay to see a play on children? Who will play these characters? And how will they make Peter Pan fly? Finding Neverland traces the events that led JM Barrie to create Peter Pan.
