Wendy is 13 and fed up of EVERYTHING.
All she wants is an adventure, so when she finds herself lost in a magical enchanted forest, and meets a magical boy called Peter and a beautiful fairy called Tinker Bell, she is so excited.
Together a real adventure begins, with pirates and the dastardly Captain Hook after them – but Wendy soon realises that what’s really important might be waiting back at home…
From the producers of Alice In Wonderland and Cinderella, come fly with us in Gala Durham’s twist inspired by J.M. Barrie’s classic tale.
Recommended age: 5+
Accessible performances of Peter Pan & Wendy include a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreted and captioned performance on Friday 26 July, 6.30pm.
