If you liked the Mischief Theatre Company’s The Play That Went Wrong, you will love their latest show, Peter Pan Goes Wrong. They are experts at slapstick and the technical disasters have been brilliantly worked out and hilariously executed.
Adam Meggido’s production, defying all Health and Safety rules, is “an awfully big misadventure.” The revolving set has a life of its own. Scenery falls down. Bunk beds collapse. A galleon tilts precariously. Captain Hook loses his hook. Nana, the dog, gets stuck in the dog-door. Peter Pan flies upside down. Tinkerbell gets electrocuted. It’s the funniest show in town.
