Peter Pan by JM Barrie (devised by the Companies)
All children, excepent one, grow up... When Peter Pan, leader of the Lost Boys, loses his shadow, headstrong Wendy helps him to reattach it. In return, she is invited to Neverland, where Tinker Bell the fairy, Tiger Lily and the vengeful Captain Hook await. A riot of magic, music and make-believe ensues.
A very different mixture of multi-disciplinary, multi-layered, multi-directional showcased performances and interactive events, including stations where audiences can fulfill suggested tasks or assignments if they like.
