About this event

Perfect family entertainment… Clap if you believe! It only takes a dash of fairy dust and the happiest of thoughts to experience an unforgettable trip to Neverland for the festive season. Bursting with imagination, this faithful re-telling of J M Barrie ’s much loved children’s story is given a sprinkling of Rep magic. In the Darling household, the usual bedtime routine is abandoned when Peter Pan flies away with Wendy and her brothers, out over moonlit Victorian streets and all the way to Neverland. There they find the ultimate paradise for rebels and dreamers…no school…no rules…and certainly no bedtime! The Lost Boys and the Darling children spend their days swimming with mermaids, making mischief with Tinker Bell, and dining on delicious imaginary feasts – the very best of make-believe. Wendy tries to keep the gang safe from harm, but with Captain Hook and the ticking Crocodile inching ever closer, the children begin to realise the thrill of adventure may come at a price. Can our heroine Wendy avoid walking the plank and summon the courage to grow up on her own terms? This magical production is adapted by Phil Porter with original music from Ruth Chan , and with The Rep’s Artistic Director, Joe Murphy ( Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street ) at the helm of the (pirate) ship! “Peter Pan” is presented by arrangement with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
