Peter Pan tells the magical story of a boy who refuses to grow up. Peter and his tiny fairy friend Tinker Bell invite the Darling children to take to the skies, flying second to the right and straight on until morning to Neverland, an enchanted island where children stay perpetually young. Swashbuckling escapades with Pan’s nemesis Captain Hook, a ticking crocodile, Tiger Lilly and a hoard of misfit pirates bring them excitement and adventure but what will happen when Wendy Darling longs for home?

Peter Pan will star Brian Capron (Coronation Street) as Captain Hook and Britains Got Talent dance sensation Twist & Pulse as Pirate Swash and Buckle. Plus back by popular demand Tucker and Martyn Knight who we be playing Smee and Mrs Smee.
