Join the Royal Shakespeare Company this winter as it returns to the Barbican with an exhilarating new take on a beloved classic myth of love, loss, redemption – and pirates.
Fly away to Neverland as you’ve never experienced it before, with Wendy & Peter Pan – Ella Hickson’s darkly witty retelling of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan directed by Jonathan Munby.
Follow Wendy on an awfully big adventure as she journeys far from the safety of the Darling’s nursery, taking centre stage in her quest to find the key to her parents’ forgotten happiness – the child they once lost, and discovers how the power of just one happy thought can set flight to newfound joy.
With Peter Pan, fairy Tink and Tiger Lily as her unlikely allies, Wendy gives the Lost Boys a run for their money as she takes on the diabolical Captain Hook, brought to life by RSC Associate Artist Toby Stephens (Oslo, Hamlet) in this ‘spectacular’ (Guardian) staging and ultimately learns what it really means to grow up.
With breathtaking sets from designer Colin Richmond, flying, sword fighting and more than a sprinkling of fairy dust, Wendy & Peter Pan is an unforgettable journey for all the family, playing for 5 weeks only until 22 November.
