Following hot on the wobbly heels of the box office hit The Play That Goes Wrong, comes another triumphant disaster from London’s West End. Nominated for an Olivier Award in 2016 for Best New Comedy, Peter Pan Goes Wrong sees Mischief Theatre bring their trademark comic mayhem to the J.M. Barrie classic, Peter Pan.
Watch Andrew Whiteside’s interview with the cast here:
In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the much-loved members of The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society once again battle against technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes on their way to Neverland with hilarious and disastrous results.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, creators of the Olivier Award-winning comedy The Play That Goes Wrong, which played to packed theatres in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland in 2017. Both ‘Goes Wrong’ productions are renowned for their highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton-inspired slapstick delivered with split-second timing.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong opens at The Civic in Auckland next week and runs through to 18 November, then moves to the Opera House in Wellington from 21 -25 November, and then at the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch from 28 November to 2 December.
