Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century theater, this play features two sisters who establish a school for aristocratic children. Though it struggled initially on Broadway, it found success in London, running for 459 performances. The story inspired adaptations for film and musical theater, including the notable "Dear Miss Phoebe." Its popularity led to the naming of Quality Street chocolates after the play, and the original production starred Maude Adams. The play premiered on October 11, 1901, showcasing Barrie's charm before his fame with Peter Pan.
