An upbeat, modern twist on a beloved classic is taking centre stage at a North East theatre this month.
Peter Pan and Wendy, a modern twist on JM Barrie's classic tale, is running at Durham's Gala Theatre until Saturday, July 27.
The whirlwind adventure will take place on the Durham stage, with the North East based cast featuring Durham Gala veterans Kieron Michael and Rosie Stancliffe.
Last year’s Gala performance of Alice in Wonderland was a huge success, and director Rachel Glover returns for this production of Peter Pan and Wendy.
Sarah Glynn, Durham County Council’s strategic manager for culture, said: “We are so excited to share the magic of Peter Pan and Wendy via our latest production. It truly is a unique and magical re-telling of a much-loved classic tale that is full of fun and adventure.
“A visit to Gala Durham will offer a great outing for families over the summer holidays. With the production being suitable for children aged five and over, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to introduce little ones to the magic of theatre and spark their love for the arts.”
Peter Pan will be performed by County Durham actor Lucas Bradley Benson, from Consett, while Wendy will be played by Lucy Davis.
The company is also running relaxed and BSL interpreted performances.
Tickets are priced from £18, with family ticket offers also available. To book, visit www.galadurham.co.uk or call the Gala Durham Box Office on 03000 266 600.
