In a London Theatre review of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, our critic said: “I don't think I've heard laughter this loud or this continuous in the theatre all year. There were moments when I could barely open my eyes I was crying so hard with laughter. You can't fail to be impressed with a show in which even the spectacular sets seems to have a life entirely of its own.”

Adam Meggido directs Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields's play, with set design by Simon Scullion, costume design by Roberto Surace, lighting design by Matt Haskins, and sound design by Ella Wahlstrom. Peter Pan Goes Wrong casting will be announced at a later date.
