Overview

Ribix Productions presents the Australian premiere of Peter/Wendy by Jeremy Bloom. This hauntingly beautiful reimagining of the well-loved classic is a co-production with the Mill Theatre and directed by award-winning director Rachel Pengilly.

Late one night, as all the stars watch on, Peter Pan lures Wendy Darling away from her home and her mother. Together, they journey to Neverland where she meets his eclectic crew: a swearing fairy, a perennial flower, and one very lost boy. But Neverland is not quite the magical place she was promised. Shadowy beasts roam the island, the mermaids wail strange cries at night, and the poetry-loving pirate-captain Hook lurks around every corner. As Wendy wanders further into the dreamlike world, Mrs Darling begins an adventure of her own: to bring her daughter home.

Playful and inventive, full of whimsy and mischief, Peter/Wendy tells the well-loved classic through a new set of eyes, asking what it means to grow up when some children never get the chance.
