WHAT would happen if a play fell apart at the seams on opening night?
The show surely would not go on? And then again maybe it would.
The answer to theatre companies’ biggest nightmare, Peter Pan Goes Wrong will push the boundaries at the Wyvern Theatre next week.
The play introduces The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society who are attempting to stage J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, but as the title suggests, everything that can go wrong does, as the accident prone thesps embark on a thrilling adventure to Neverland with hilariously disastrous results.
Co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is directed by Adam Meggido.
Mischief Theatre exploded onto the stage in 2013 enjoying phenomenal success with The Play That Goes Wrong, the first of their ‘Goes Wrong’ hit shows. The show went on to win the Whatsonstage Award for Best New Comedy 2014. Peter Pan Goes Wrong first premiered at The Pleasance London in December 2013.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong will run from Monday, June 8 to Saturday 13 at the Wyvern Theatre. Tickets start at £18.50. To book call 01793 524 481 or visit swindontheatres.co.uk.
