This version of the childhood favorite by J.M. Barrie, was adapted by John Caird and Trevor Nunn.
It tells the classic tale of Peter Pan (played by Nathan Burns), Wendy (Sarah Overton), and her brothers Michael (Mhairi Cameron) and John (Raleigh Hampson), on their quest to Neverland as they tangle with pirates, lost boys, mermaids, braves, and Captain Hook (Moritz Barth).
The Darling children finally return home to become adults, but Peter Pan returns for more playmates and stories.
This production will be enhanced with Flying By Foy technology, which enables the actors to fly above the stage.
