Talking about the news, Jonathan Munby said: “I am delighted audiences will be travelling to Neverland with Ella Hickson’s remarkable Wendy & Peter Pan. Bringing this production to the Barbican with such an exceptional company is both a privilege and an enormous creative joy. We have assembled an extraordinarily talented and diverse group of artists, each of whom will bring their own imagination, skill and courage to meet the challenges of this ambitious piece. Wendy & Peter Pan demands emotional truth, physical daring and a strong sense of ensemble, and I could not wish to embark on this journey with finer collaborators.”
Follow Wendy on an awfully big adventure as she journeys far from the safety of the Darling’s nursery on her quest to find the key to her parents’ forgotten happiness, discovering how the power of just one happy thought can set flight to newfound joy.
