What is the play Wendy and Peter Pan about?
Following the death of their youngest brother, Tom, the Darling children can't quite believe he is gone. Then one night, Wendy Darling hears a knock on her window and discovers it is Peter Pan, the boy who has never grown up and who lives in Neverland, a place where the Lost Boys live. If Tom is just lost, he must be in Neverland, so Wendy and her brothers Michael and John fly off on an adventure to Neverland to try and find Tom and bring him home. Along the way, the Darling’s encounter a quirky cast of characters including mermaids, pirates, talking shadows, the fearless Tiger Lily and the fairy Tinkerbell. But there are darker forces at play, and Wendy, Peter and their friends must battle against the sinister Captain Hook to save Neverland, and learn what it truly means to grow up.
Wendy and Peter Pan first premiered at the RSC in 2013 to critical acclaim and received another RSC run in 2015. In 2021, a new revival of the show was produced by the Bunkamura Theatre in Tokyo and the Leeds Playhouse, later embarking on a UK tour. Featuring sword fights, soaring feats of flight and a generous sprinkling of fairy dust, this “spectacular reimagining” (The Guardian) is the perfect show for all the family. Book your tickets today!

The setting was very beautiful. I liked how they made the tree home for the lost boys and the pirate ship. I don't know why they didn't make the crocodile look more like a crocodile. Either a puppet or a mask, and why Tink wasn't green, but I guess t Read more

Toby Stevenson gives a wonderful Hook. This is a really lush production, well worth catching and one for kids and adults alike. Lots to see in terms of beautiful set and plenty of flying and a twist on the age old story.
