CAUSING PAN-DEMONIUM
MISCHIEF – the multi-award-winning company responsible for the global comedy phenomenon, The Play That Goes Wrong and the BBC One television series, The Goes Wrong Show, has announced that its West End hit show, Peter Pan Goes Wrong will come to Woking New Victoria Theatre from Tuesday to Saturday, March 12 to 16.
Co-penned by Mischief’s celePeter brated writing trio, Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton-inspired slapstick, delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring.
The play sees the Cornley Drama Society back on stage battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes as they attempt to present JM Barrie’s much-loved tale. But will they ever make it to Neverland?
Nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2016, Peter Pan Goes Wrong has enjoyed two West End seasons, a tour of Australia and New Zealand and two UK tours. BBC One broadcast a one-hour version of the show on primetime television in December 2016, starring David Suchet as the guest narrator, watched by an audience of more than six million worldwide.
Creative director of Mischief, Jonathan Sayer said: “I’m absolutely delighted that Peter Pan Goes Wrong will be returning to bring joy across the country. It’s such a special show for us and includes some of our most ambitious comic sequences to date.”
Pan Goes Wrong is directed by Adam Meggido, with set designs by Simon Scullion, costumes by Roberto Surace, lighting by Matt Haskins and sound by Ella Wahlström. Peter Pan Goes Wrong is produced by Kenny Wax Ltd and Stage Presence Ltd.
