SYNOPSIS

A man sits alone in his study, as he does every night, to read the paper. But on this 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 continues reading, becoming our unlikely narrator, the children fly out the window with Peter Pan and what follows is a wild adventure to Neverland in which our reader will play the role of Mr. Smee the pirate - Captain Hook’s right hand man.

“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 any 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.
