SYNOPSIS
A man sits alone in his study, as he does every night, to read the paper. On this particularly strange evening, he discovers his paper has been replaced with a book: The Story of Peter Pan. As he begins to read, the story comes to life around him; the Darling children at play in their nursery, and a strange boy who flies in through the window. As he reads on, he takes on the role of our unlikely narrator, Mr. Smee, as the children fly out the window toward Neverland with Peter Pan.
“DREAM OF MAKING WAYS TO LET DREAMING IN,
ONLY STARTING THINGS THAT ONLY BEGIN”
“All children grow up, except one” says the book, but this adaptation of the beloved tale questions whether children ever have to, or ever do. Peter Pan is a raucous, ensemble-driven adventure centered around play. Inspired by the essence of childhood imagination, this show will remind you that you’re never too old to make believe.
