Barries much-loved story puts the character of Wendy firmly centre stage  in an adaptation that is refreshingly modern but never loses the charm of the original.  Winter  1909. Snow is falling across London. Wendy Darling and her brothers sleep peacefully in their bedroom  as their parents bicker downstairs. In a sudden flurry of snow their window blows open  and into their lives tumbles a mischievous boy called Peter  followed by a fractious fairy called Tink. With the aid of a little fairy dust  Wendy agrees to fly with Peter to Neverland  seeing not only the promise of an awfully big adventure  but also the chance to rediscover the key to her parents lost happiness. Once there  she will give the Lost Boys a run for their money  defeat Captain Hook and his pirate crew  and ultimately  learn what it means to grow up.  Commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company  Ella Hicksons Wendy \u0026amp; Peter Pan premiered at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre  Stratford-upon-Avon  in December 2013.
