EDITORS COMMENTS
16-year-old Dinah Sheridan, a young and promising actress, boldly defied gender norms as she took on the iconic role of Peter Pan in a touring production during the 1930s. In this photograph from The John Barrett Collection, Sheridan is seen posing confidently in her Peter Pan costume, complete with a fitted blouse, collar, and the signature green tights and buckled shoes. Her hair, styled in loose curls, frames her youthful face, which is adorned with a mischievous grin. The 1930s, a decade marked by economic hardship and social change, saw an increasing appreciation for unconventional roles in the entertainment industry. Sheridan's portrayal of Peter Pan, a character traditionally played by boys, was a testament to her talent and determination. Her ability to embody the spirit of the beloved character, known for his eternal youth, adventure, and mischief, resonated with audiences and solidified her place in the annals of theatre history. The touring production allowed Sheridan to share her unique interpretation of Peter Pan with various communities across the country, spreading joy and wonder to countless young and old alike. This photograph serves as a reminder of her groundbreaking performance and the enduring allure of the Peter Pan character, which continues to inspire and captivate generations.
