Suspend your disbelief and salute the constant state of preadolescent gender in Never Never Land where the principal boy, Peter, is played by a woman. In 1903 , Nina Boucicault played Peter Pan in the original London production. Reviewer Denis Mackail enthusiastically noted that,
others will be more boyish, or more principal-boyish, or gayer and prettier, or sinister and inhuman, or more ingeniously and painstakingly elfin, but Miss Boucicault was the Peter of all Peters…she was unearthly but she was real. She obtruded neither sex nor sexlessness…

In the spirit of Boucicault PYT throws social codes of masculinity into crisis.
