Sherman Theatre + Theatr Iolo

Peter Pan

By J.M. Barrie
A new version by Catherine Dyson

Join Wendy on a breathtaking adventure and fly into the fantastical world of Peter Pan this Christmas.

When Wendy meets Peter Pan, she escapes to magical Neverland – a world of fairies, mermaids, and a pirate pursued by a crocodile.

It’s a land where you’re free to play, to have adventures, to fly and sing. But she also discovers a new group of children to look after – a tribe of Lost Boys who are looking for a mother.

Wendy must decide whether to stay in Neverland, or to return home to real life.

Based on of J.M. Barrie’s timeless tale Catherine Dyson’s fun, funny and moving play with songs composed by Gwyneth Herbert, sees the story through Wendy’s eyes. It will be performed by a talented cast of actor-musicians, including faces familiar to Sherman audiences. This fresh new take on a much-loved classic celebrates the power of the imagination to help us navigate life’s adventures. It thinks about what it means to grow up, and how we can all embrace living life in our own way.

This spectacular co-production with Sherman Theatre features thrilling flying sequences designed by NoFit State, and is directed by our Artistic Director, Lee Lyford (The Wind in the Willows, Sherman Theatre; A Christmas Carol, Bristol Old Vic). There are no limits to where your imagination can take you this Christmas.
