Following their multi award-winning sell-out success with The Play That Goes Wrong and the BBC TV series The Goes Wrong Show, Mischief return with their riotous spin on a timeless classic, the West End smash hit Peter Pan Goes Wrong.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Peter Pan, the play that goes wrong, lived up to the high expectations. It was hilarious from start to finish, without a dry eye in the theatre throughout. The entertainment started before the audience took their seats, had us involved from start to finish and the belly laughs continued throughout. It was a must-see, and we loved the feel of pantomime outside of the festive season. Highly recommend to family and adults." Review by Elesha and Lucas Lee
