Barn Theatre announces digital schools tour of Peter Pan

The Barn Theatre’s upcoming one-man production of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan (running from 3 December - 3 January) will be made available for schools to live stream as a part of a “digital schools tour”.

Starring Waylon Jacobs, this new take on the classic tale, adapted by Alan Pollock and co-conceived by Kirk Jameson and Nick Barstow, follows a father in a hotel room, three thousand miles away from home. Desperate not to miss bedtime, he recreates his daughter’s favourite story: an epic tale of adventure, pirates, fairies – a crocodile with gigantic teeth! – and a little boy who refuses to grow old….

Streaming links can be purchased by schools for various dates between 8-17 December. It is also planned to give hospitals and care homes free streaming access to the show over the Christmas period.

Barn Theatre Artistic Director and CEO Iwan Lewis said “We are so proud to be launching this digital schools tour. In a year that has been unprecedently challenging for children across the country we are so happy that we are able to still offer schools a chance to make their annual trip to see a live performance at the theatre, albeit virtually this year from the comfort of their classroom.”
