Exeter Northcott Theatre Announces Casting for PETER PAN

Escape to Neverland this Christmas with Exeter Northcott Theatre and the boy who never grew up...
This Christmas Exeter Northcott Theatre presents a brand-new adaptation of the much-loved J.M Barrie classic, Peter Pan.

Directed by Exeter Northcott's Artistic and Executive Director Paul Jepson, join Wendy, John and Michael as they soar into the night sky with Peter to a magical land of mermaids and fairy dust, where children can fly and exciting adventures happen every day. But beware - danger is just around the corner. Captain Hook and the pirates are looking for revenge and Peter Pan is top of their list!

Having previously been the resident pantomime dame at the Exeter Northcott between 1996 and 2010, Steve Bennettreturns to the theatre as Tinker Bell. The cast also includes Laura Prior as Peter Pan, Kerry Peers as Captain Hook, Macy Nyman as Wendy, Mark Carlisle as Smee and Greg Hall as Starkey. The production has mirrored tradition by casting the title role as a female actor, as well as switching the gender roles of two other characters.

Once again, current Cygnet Theatre students will perform in the Exeter Northcott Christmas production. Tiger Lily will be played by Jessica Parsons and Captain Hook's trusty crew of pirates will be played by Guy Dennys, Marissa Rowell, Damian Schedler Cruz, Scott Simpson and Jake Sullivan.

Completing the cast will be twenty children from around Devon who will play the roles of the Lost Boys.

Featuring the modern and innovative design of award-winning Ellan Parry, live music, death defying feats of flying and a generous sprinkling of fairy dust, let your imagination soar in this magical new stage adaptation of J.M. Barrie's classic story - the perfect festive treat for all the family.
