The play follows the story of a wealthy family, the Grey family, who return home from a trip to find their house has been burgled. While waiting for the police to arrive, the family sits by the fire and reminisces about their past. Alice, the mother, tells stories about her youth and her relationship with her husband, while her husband, David, tells stories about his career as a lawyer. Their children, Amy and Stephen, also share their own stories and experiences. As the night goes on, the family begins to realize that their memories may not be entirely accurate and that they have been living in a dream world. The play explores themes of love, family, memory, and the passage of time.1919. Sir James Matthew, Baronet Barrie a Scottish journalist, playwright, and children's book writer who became world famous with his play and story about Peter Pan, the boy who lived in Never Land, had a war with Captain Hook, and would not grow up. One would like to peep covertly into Amy's diary (octavo, with the word Amy in gold letters wandering across the soft brown leather covers, as if it was a long word and, in Amy's opinion, rather a dear). To take such a liberty, and allow the reader to look over our shoulders, as they often invite you to do in novels (which, however, are much more coquettish things than plays) would be very helpful to us; we should learn at once what sort of girl Amy is, and why today finds her washing her hair. We should also get proof or otherwise, that we are interpreting her aright; for it is our desire not to record our feelings about Amy, but merely Amy's feelings about herself; not to tell what we think happened, but what Amy thought happened.
