Illyria Theatre Company return to Baysgarth Park courtesy of the Barton Tourism Partnership and will be performing J M Barrie’s timeless story of Peter Pan on Sunday, August 21.

Wendy Darling is certain she saw the face of a boy at her bedroom window 3 floors up – yet no-one believes her. So who can blame her when she agrees to fly away to the idyllic Neverland with him? But is Neverland as perfect as it seems? Or will the evil Captain Hook and his band of pirates kill Peter and rule over it themselves?

Peter Pan was first performed by Illyria in 1997. It has been performed outdoors many times since by many different companies. But Illyria’s 2022 production will be the first to feature REAL flying!

Lasting 1hr 40mins (including 20 minute interval) and suitable for everyone aged five years and over, the free show will be performed against the backdrop of Baysgarth House Museum.

“Peter Pan” is presented by arrangement with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity and Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
