Fly away to Neverland with the RSC's Wendy & Peter Pan in London

Join the Royal Shakespeare Company this autumn as it returns to the Barbican with an exhilarating new take on a beloved classic myth of love, loss, redemption – and pirates.

Wendy & Peter Pan is Ella Hickson’s darkly witty retelling of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan directed by Jonathan Munby. It features Lolita Chakrabarti, Daniel Krikler, Charlotte Mills, Hannah Saxby and RSC Associate Artist Toby Stephens.

Follow Wendy on a big adventure as she journeys far from the safety of the Darling’s nursery, taking centre stage in her quest to find the key to her parents’ forgotten happiness – the child they once lost and discovers how the power of just one happy thought can set flight to newfound joy.

With breath-taking sets from designer Colin Richmond, flying, sword fighting and more than a sprinkling of fairy dust, Wendy & Peter Pan is an unforgettable journey for all the family, playing for five weeks only from October 21 to November 22, 2025.

This month, you have the chance to win four tickets to see Wendy & Peter Pan and a luxury overnight stay at South Place Hotel, a five-star hotel less than ten minutes’ walk from the Barbican. Also included is a dining experience at Bluebird City. An offshoot from Chelsea’s iconic Bluebird, located in the city at South Place Hotel. The new gem, offers an all-day dining experience that celebrates seasonal British ingredients, with a few classic Chelsea favourites reimagined. And, of course, the legendary Bluebird atmosphere and terrace that has been enchanting guests for decades.
