Bad acting and onstage mishaps reach a whole new level of madness and mayhem as Mischief Theatre the team responsible for the worldwide smash hit The Play That Goes Wrong, returns to Milton Keynes Theatre with Peter Pan Goes Wrong next week.
J M Barrie may well be turning in his grave at the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s adaptation of his much-loved children’s classic as the cast and crew battle technical hitches, flying faux-pas and altercations amongst the actors.
Never was the possibility of actually reaching Neverland quite so hard to predict.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong is an awfully big adventure packed with finely-tuned farce and Buster Keaton inspired slapstick, delivered with split-second timing, ambitious daring and an awful lot of silliness.

Mischief Theatre was founded in 2008 by a group of graduates of The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and began as an improvised comedy group.
Continuing the now highly successful run of anarchically bonkers physical comedies Peter Pan Goes Wrong is co-written by Mischief Theatre company members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields.
Nominated for an Olivier Award for ‘Best New Comedy’ in 2016, the show has enjoyed two West End seasons, a tour of Australia and New Zealand and a UK tour. A one-hour version of the show was broadcast on primetime BBC One in December 2016, starring David Suchet as the guest narrator and watched by an audience of over six million worldwide.
