Peter Pan takes a microphone to Neverland this winter in a Polka Theatre musical built around live voices. The Wimbledon production runs from 14 November 2026 to 24 January 2027, with original songs, rapping and beatboxing performed without instrumental accompaniment.

Celeste Denyer plays Peter opposite Nadine Rose Johnson as Wendy. Conrad Murray, who adapted the J. M. Barrie story and co-directs with Ria Parry, also plays Captain Hook. Aziza Brown plays Tink. Peter and Wendy must work with Tink and the Lost Boys to stop Hook taking Peter’s sword and ruling Neverland.
