Mischief, the multi award-winning company responsible for the global comedy phenomenon The Play That Goes Wrong, will return to Leeds Grand Theatre from 15 to 20 January 2024 with their West End hit show, Peter Pan Goes Wrong.
Co-penned by Mischief’s celebrated writing trio Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a highly physical comedy packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton-inspired slapstick, delivered with split-second timing and ambitious daring. The play sees the ‘Cornley Drama Society’ back on stage battling technical hitches, flying mishaps and cast disputes as they attempt to present J.M Barrie’s much-loved tale. But will they ever make it to Neverland?
Nominated for an Olivier Award for ‘Best New Comedy’ in 2016, Peter Pan Goes Wrong has enjoyed two West End seasons, a tour of Australia and New Zealand and two UK tours. BBC One broadcast a one-hour version of the show on primetime television in December 2016, starring David Suchet as the guest narrator, watched by an audience of over six million worldwide.
Jonathan Sayer, Creative Director of Mischief: “I’m absolutely delighted that Peter Pan Goes Wrong will be returning to bring joy across the country. It’s such a special show for us and includes some of our most ambitious comic sequences to date.”
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 January 2024. Book tickets online at leedsheritagetheatres.com or call the Box Office on 0113 243 0808
