That's classic McDonagh tbf. He's written plays about Hans Christian Andersen keeping a "pygmy woman" in his attic and stealing stories from her, or characters "too mad for the IRA" going on killing sprees because their cat is missing.

Reply to TIL a special law in the UK was created to ensure that the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital will forever be able to collect royalties from stage performances, audiobooks, book releases, etc. of Peter Pan in the UK. This is the only work with an 'exception' to copyright laws. by [deleted]
One of the big Pantomime companies in the UK now only does "the further adventures of Peter Pan" rather than adapt the original story to avoid paying GOSH.
