Peter Pan
Park Theatre, London

PETER PAN needs no introduction — most know JM Barrie's iconic story of the mischievous, albeit endearing, boy who never grows up. Though well over a century old, the story, if you can forgive the exasperating gender stereotyping, is just as enchanting as it no doubt was when first performed.

It's a relief then that director Jonathan O'Boyle's at Park Theatre keeps true to the magic and sheer originality which make this tale so enduring. It's helped by Gregor Donnelly's set design, with a stage that beautifully transforms from the children's bedroom to Neverland and some really imaginative touches throughout.

Autumn leaves in the Darlings' house transform into their dog Nana, there's the familiar crocodile with its ticking clock and Pan even flies, when hoisted up in the air by wire.
