Directed by Joe Edwards-Gill
January 2020
Ever since Peter Pan first flew in through Wendy Darling's nursery window and took her off to Never Land, Barrie's classic adventure story has thrilled and delighted theatre-goers. We're proud to say that our production, directed by Joe Edwards-Gill, kept up that tradition, attracting high praise from our audiences.
Here's what Robert Halliday thought:
Saw Peter Pan on Friday night: thought it was absolutely fantastic. Was thoroughly gripped throughout. J M Barrie's play is incredibly ambitious, and should probably be difficult for a well funded professional company to stage: after all a lot of the cast have to fly through the air persistently and repeatedly, and much of the action takes place in an utterly fantastical 'Neverland'. Harleston Players thus made a really, incredibly good task of getting Peter, Wendy, Michael and John to fly. The recreation of Neverland was quite compelling. All the cast, especially the younger actors, played their roles with incredible commitment. The last five minutes was so emotional that it made me cry. So thank you to Harleston Players for a brilliant night out watching Peter Pan!
