Curtain rises on Peter Pan at the Theatre Royal as star of stage, screen and musical theatre Paul Nicholas plays Captain Hook alongside pantomime favourite Jon Monie and Casualty’s Rebecca Wheatley in Bath’s swashbuckling festive treat.

One of the UK’s best-loved actors, Paul Nicholas (EastEnders, The Real Marigold Hotel, Just Good Friends) takes centre stage as Captain Hook alongside pantomime favourite Jon Monie as Hook’s right-hand-man, Smee, and Rebecca Wheatley, from BBC’s Casualty, as Mrs Darling, in this year’s family pantomime, Peter Pan appearing at the Theatre Royal Bath from Thursday 13 December to Sunday 13 January.

The large cast also features Tim Edwards as Peter Pan (The Book Of Mormon, West End, Wicked, UK tour); Rachel Grundy as Tinker Bell (Legally Blonde The Musical, UK tour, The Rocky Horror Show, West End); Jenny Huxley-Golden as Wendy (CBBC’s M.I. High, CBBC’s Chute); gravity-defying comedy acrobats, The Nitwits aka Antony Morgan, Clinton Purnell and Jack Robbins as Hook’s pirate crew; the Peter Pan Ensemble and young dancers from Bath’s Dorothy Coleborn School of Dance.

A sensational seasonal treat for both the young and those who never want to grow up, Peter Pan continues Bath’s proud tradition of outstanding family pantomime, guaranteed to delight audience members across the generations. Produced by UK Productions, Peter Pan is staged by director Michael Gattrell, choreographer Danielle Drayton and musical director Oliver Rew – the same talented creative team who masterminded Bath’s acclaimed 2017 pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, widely hailed as ‘one of the best pantos ever’, and the Theatre Royal’s hugely-praised 2016 production of Aladdin.

Peter Pan appears at the Theatre Royal Bath from Thursday 13 December 2018 to Sunday 13 January 2019. To book tickets contact the Theatre Royal Bath Box Office on 01225 448844 or visit www.theatreroyal.org.uk
