Presented by Center Stage, Peter and The Starcatcher is the spellbinding precursor to Peter's story, imagining the boy who never grew up's life before Wendy and the Darlings.

Peter Pan Prequel

A coming-of-age tale that will delight audiences young and old with its original - and inventive - take on the ever-popular story of arch-rivals Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Peter and The Starcatcher takes us back to Peter Pan's early days aboard the pirate ship The Neverland, captained by the evil Bill Slank. A multi-Tony award winner, this endlessly enchanting play conjures up its world through wildly inventive stagecraft and the phenomenal acting of its performers, who each ably inhabit multiple roles, from timid lost boys to scurrilous pirates.

Peter and the Starcatcher was first performed on Broadway in 2012 - where it won an impressive five Tony Awards out of its nine nominations - after runs Off-Broadway and in California at the La Jolla Playhouse. The story itself is based on the 2006 novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson.

Also on board The Neverland is a ragtag band of pirates, Molly Aster (the future Mrs Darling) and a trio of young orphan boys, one of whom isn't too fond of growing up...
