A rollicking romp of a traditional family panto!
Join Wendy, John and Michael as they fly with Peter Pan to the fantastical world of Neverland. Cling onto your seats as Peter and the Lost Boys do battle with the rather nasty Captain Hook and his even nastier bunch of pirates. But fear not as Nanny McFlea and her ever eager apprentice Barkly, are on hand to assist in the most ridiculous of ways!
Silly jokes, sillier slapstick, song and dance are the order of the day with the obligatory song sheet and lots of audience participation!
