The Awfully Big Adventures of Peter Pan
Based on JM Barrie's famous book about the boy who refuses to grow up, this fun-loving, hilarious adaption of one of the world's most beloved classics follows the adventures of Wendy, John and Michael Darling and, of course, Peter Pan.
With the help of his accident prone fairy friend Tinkerbell, Peter takes the three children out of their nursery window and on a magical flight to Neverland, his enchanted island home where they meet Peter’s friends, the Lost Boys. But danger is never far while the evil band of pirates led by Captain Hook (and his domineering mother) are intent on defeating Peter Pan and escaping the tick-tocking crocodile that once ate Hook's hand.
This imaginative re-telling of the story of Peter Pan adapted for the stage by Tim O'Connor is sure to delight children and enthral adults, with a cast of Brisbane’s finest actors and featuring design by award-winning Josh McIntosh. So don't miss this playful and swashbuckling spectacular -- THE AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURES OF PETER PAN.
