Photo Flash: A First Look at PETER PAN at the National Theatre

All children, except one, grow up...

When Peter Pan, the leader of the Lost Boys, loses his shadow during a visit to London, headstrong Wendy helps him re-attach it. In return she is invited to Neverland - where Tinker Bell the fairy, Tiger Lily and the vengeful Captain Hook await. Exploring the possibilities and pain of growing up, it's a riot of magic, mischief, music and make-believe.

Director Sally Cookson brings her wondrously inventive Peter Pan to the National Theatre after a sell-out, critically acclaimed run at Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Anna Francolini plays Captain Hook and Mrs Darling, reinstating the double casting intended by J M Barrie for his original production.

The cast also includes Saikat Ahamed, Suzanne Ahmet, Marc Antolin, Lois Chimimba, Laura Cubitt, Phoebe Fildes, Felix Hayes, Paul Hilton, John Leader, Amaka Okafor, John Pfumojena, Jessica Temple, Dan Wheeler and Madeleine Worrall.

Suitable for children aged 7+. Half-price tickets for under-18s.

Press night: Friday 2 December, 7pm

A relaxed performance of Peter Pan will take place on Saturday 21 January at 2pm.
