This festive season, open your mind and imagination to a Pan-tastic Pan-tasy!
Based on the classic novel by J.M. Barrie, PAN! Peter’s Come Out To Play is set in both a Caribbean tropical Neverland and a recognisable Peckham locale, with an original reggae, soca and soul infused soundtrack. This new contemporary retelling sets the much-loved children’s novel to original music by British Composer Jordan Xavier, with a new book and lyrics by Geoff Aymer.
PAN! asks audiences to open their minds and imaginations and view the world with childlike wonder as they remember how much fun it is to play. At the heart of PAN! lies Peter’s refusal to grow up, driven by the memories of his life in Peckham. The tropical Neverland becomes a symbol of freedom and escape for Peter and his lost boys, where they can revel in the joy of music and dance while evading the pressures of adulthood.
Tyler Ephraim (Wizard of Oz UK tour, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) will play Peter Pan (aka Double P), Billy Lynch (The Wonderful, Sinderfella) will play Hook/Greg, Adryne Caulder-James (Cinderella at Greenwich Theatre) will play Wendy, and Krishana Parker (Parade, Sleeping Beauty - Kenneth More Theatre) will play Marcia/Cllr Lillian.
The full creative team are Writer/Lyricist Geoff Aymer, Composer Jordan Xavier, Director Suzann McLean, Designer Bob Sterrett, Choreographer Jazz Deer-Olafa, Lighting Designer Chuma Emembolu, Sound Designer Sasha Howe and Musical Director Ben Christopher.
