Peter Pan
The tale of the boy who never grew up is given a Scottish flavour, in keeping with the nationality of its creator, JM Barrie, who was born 150 years ago. With flying children, thrilling sword fights, fire-eaters, acrobatics, dastardly pirates and the ominous ticking of the crocodile, this production promises excitement for all ages.

All children grow up, except one.
In 2010 the National Theatre of Scotland brings Peter Pan home, presenting a brand new version of one of the most influential and magical stories ever told by a Scottish writer, in what will be the 150th anniversary of the birth of JM Barrie.
Directed by the National Theatre of Scotland’s own Olivier Award-winning John Tiffany (Black Watch) and written by multi award-winning Scottish playwright David Greig (Midsummer, Yellow Moon) this Peter Pan reimagines the Darling family in Victorian Edinburgh with all its mists, gaslamps, bridges and mystery.
Join Peter, Wendy, John and Michael as they take off on a fantastical flight to the colourful wonderful Never Land, an enchanted place of vivid characters.
Razor-sharp sword fights, virtuoso flying sequences, acrobats, fire-eaters, ticking crocodiles and one great big hook will ensure the whole family is drawn into this distinctly Caledonian other-worldly adventure.
Peter Pan is ideal for the young at heart aged 7 and over.

This pantomime is by far, one of the best I have seen in a number of years. Its spectacular, action packed, full of humor, stuffed with great original music, singing and choreography. The Act 1 Finale blew me away, something that a pantomime has not done for a while! All the cast were brilliant especially Alan McHugh who makes a great dame, Jordan Young who fits into the role of Smee perfectly and Keith Jack who's brilliant voice is put to good use throughout the show.
This is an excellent pantomime that all ages will love.
