Posted on
The Royal Shakespeare Company has unveiled first-look photos for *Wendy and Peter Pan*, opening the company’s London season at the Barbican this autumn. **Ella Hickson**’s bold reimagining of **J.M. Barrie**’s beloved story runs from 21 October to 22 November 2025, with an official opening on 28 October - stay tuned for our review!
Directed by **Jonathan Munby**, this five-week-only production stars **Toby Stephens** as Captain Hook and Mr Darling, alongside **Lolita Chakrabarti** as Mrs Darling, **Daniel Krikler** as Peter Pan, **Charlotte Mills** as Tink and **Hannah Saxby** as Wendy.
**Hickson**’s adaptation flips the classic tale on its head, following Wendy as she ventures beyond the nursery on a fearless journey of imagination and self-discovery. Expect flying, sword fights and RSC-scale spectacle in this witty and moving retelling that asks what it really means to grow up.
