Synopsis "Quality Street: A Comedy (in English)"

Prior to his more well-known work, Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie wrote a play in four acts called Quality Street. Two sisters in the narrative open a school "for aristocratic children." In 1901, the first Broadway production debuted, and it barely ran for 64 performances. The musical was then performed in London, where it ran for 459 performances and became a success. Up until World War II, it was regularly renewed. The drama was adapted for the screen twice; in the first, in 1927, Marion Davies starred, and in the second, in 1937, Katharine Hepburn did. Christopher Hassall and Harry Parr Davies' adaptation for musical theater, Dear Miss Phoebe, debuted in 1950. Quality Street chocolates and caramels were named after the play since it was so well-liked, and the confectionery's initial advertising and packaging featured playgoers. Hicks and Terriss' cul-de-sac was renamed "Quality Street" when they relocated to a new house, The Old Forge in Merstham, Surrey. The play had its world premiere on October 11, 1901, at the Valentine Theatre in Toledo, Ohio. It was produced by Charles Frohman and starred Maude Adams, but it only lasted for 64 moderately successful performances.

J.M. Barrie (Kirriemuir, Escocia, 1860 - Londres, 1937) fue un escritor y dramaturgo escocés conocido especialmente por ser el creador de Peter Pan. Nacido en el seno de una familia de artesanos de escasos recursos, tuvo una infancia feliz hasta que la muerte de un hermano, cuando él contaba apenas seis años de edad, alteró profundamente la vida familiar y trastornó la salud mental de su madre, que se convirtió en una persona desequilibrada, autoritaria e inflexible, cuya influencia y recuerdo pesó para siempre sobre James. El principal anhelo de Barrie durante el resto de su vida fue recuperar la felicidad de sus primeros años y mantuvo siempre un matiz infantil en su personalidad. En Londres alcanzó la fama con sus novelas y obras de teatro. Además, fue allí donde conoció a los hijos de la familia Llewelyn Davies, fuente de inspiración para escribir Peter Pan, la obra de teatro sobre un chico que no quería crecer y sobre Wendy, su compañera de aventuras en Nunca Jamás. Años más tarde la convirtió en novela: Peter y Wendy fue un auténtico fenómeno en la era eduardiana, la Belle Époque británica que aunó los años de inocencia, hedonismo y despreocupación previos a la primera guerra mundial.
