First published in 1902, “The Admirable Crichton” is a comic stage play written by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie, best remembered as the creator of Peter Pan.

“The Admirable Crichton” is a satirical comedy dealing with class and social structure. The play tells the story of an English family and a few of their servants, who get stranded on a deserted island for two years. In England the aristocracy was in charge and the servants loyally followed orders from them; however, on the island things are very different! So...what happens when they are rescued and all go back to England? Will everything go back to "normal"?

"The Admirable Crichton" is an interesting and entertaining play, but thoughtful at the same time.

It serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the disconnect between making money and understanding human nature.
