Price: $23.99

Following the acclaimed Jane Eyre, director Sally Cookson brings her wondrously inventive Peter Pan to the NT after a sell-out run at Bristol Old Vic. Exploring the possibilities and pain of growing up, it's a riot of magic, mischief, music and make-believe.


Reviews
'Sally Cooksons 2012 production of JM Barries Peter Pan, revived and revised at the National Theatre for Christmas, sees her reuniting with many of the same performers and creative team as her superlative version of Jane Eyre one of the best stage literary adaptations of recent years. The results border on bliss... There are some wonderfully theatrical moments... A green sheet ingeniously transforms into Peters missing shadow, a corrugated crocodile with gleaming red eyes stalks the stage, and a pirate ship emerges from the depths of the Oliviers drum revolve... the final few scenes are unexpectedly moving, catching the audience off guard while capturing the ache inherent in growing up and growing old. The Stage

Exhilarating. Witty. Wonderful Daily Telegraph,

Something to delight the whole family The Times,

'An emotionally and imaginatively rich production that genuinely speaks to all ages' The Stage

'Sally Cooksons inventive playfulness reinforces the heros devotion to fun and games but remains true to the melancholy spirit of JM Barries play' The Guardian

'Brimful of invention, innovation and fine flying... an appealing evening.' Evening Standard
