This Friday and Saturday...

A reimagining of Peter Pan as told by Wendy Darling

Through her open window Wendy Darling gazes out at the night sky dreaming of blue lagoons, magical moons and the stories that she can tell. But tonight, like no other, has magic in the air. Come with us as we invite you to fly into a fantastical world of adventure, where time stands still, and the impossible seems possible and if you close your eyes and believe, then you really can make anything happen.
 
A sparkling new production with exquisite music, enthralling movement and a sprinkle of magic. The 2pm performance on Saturday has now sold out, and we have limited availability for all other performances, so book now.

Eight year old Maddy longs to be in the school play, but her lack of confidence is holding her back. Sensing her bad mood, Mum sends Maddy to help Grandad unpack. What unfolds is a wondrous story that enthralls Maddy and gives her the spirit to pursue her dreams. Performed by four actors, this charming show is full of audience participation, puppetry and songs to celebrate friendship and is enhanced to improve access for a non-sighted audience.
