Escape to Never Land all over again! 

Packed with enough puppetry and theatrical magic to enthrall audiences young and old, the enchanting Regent’s Park production of Peter Pan is back. 

Imagination is the only escape for the wounded soldiers of World War One. Soon they’re transported to the fantastical lagoons and pirate ships of Never Land. But allegories of the war they’ve tried to leave behind are ever present….

Killed in action in 1915, George Llewelyn Davis was one of the children who inspired J. M. Barrie to write Peter Pan. Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel’s rendition of the iconic story remembers Davis and a generation of Lost Boys. This “stunning, moving, definitive production is not to be missed” (Time Out).

Good To Know

WEATHER

Every theatre performance is unique, but this is especially the case at the Open Air Theatre where both the stage and entire auditorium are uncovered.

Each visit can be distinctly different as the weather and light spontaneously interact with the play. Warm or cool, clear or overcast, the point at which dusk turns to night, being outdoors adds a thrilling contribution to our work and is an integral part of your experience here. Some of our audience's favourite memories have been of the sun breaking through the clouds during the show whilst some of the most electric performances happen in the wake of rainfall.

It's best to come prepared for all types of weather: bringing your own shade in the afternoon is particularly important as is a jumper for the end of evening performances. So sun hats, sun cream, sunglasses, raincoats and rain hats should all be considered. Although the vast majority of performances are completed each year, as the auditorium and stage are completely uncovered, we may have to stop and re-start the show.

On rare occasions, it will not be possible for us to complete the performance, but we will never cancel a performance before the advertised start time. This is because you would be amazed how often it can rain all day and then clear up just in time for the action to start and indeed, how localised bad weather can be. Also we really don't want to disappoint anyone - audiences or our actors (who are always keen to perform, if at all possible).

Please note that films and one-off live music and comedy shows are never cancelled because of the weather.

    Peter Pan was a joy to attend. Enthusiastic actors, sophisticated set design, and brilliant choreography all blended together to create quite the experience, bringing up a great deal of nostalgia for who I'm sure was most of the audience.

    This was a very unique interpretation of the old children’s favourite Peter Pan. The First World War parallels were very moving and added a whole extra dimension to the story. The staging was ambitious and innovative. The technical skills of both performers and stage crew should be applauded. A play not to be missed.

    What a brilliant show very different. The whole cast were very good and being outside you felt like you was on the stage with the actors. Weather was good so made it even better
