As Bizet’s wafting prelude spirits us tunefully but not so mysteriously to our exotic location Woolcock adds an extra dimension to the music establishing watery depths through which three aerialists plunge and swim with astonishingly convincing grace and athleticism.

“Awesome flying scenes.” Time Out

“An awfully big adventure. Breathtaking.” Daily Mail

“A joyous flight of fancy.” London Paper

“I hadn’t imagined anything quite so breathtaking as the flight over London. What impressed me almost more however was how true I felt you had been to JM Barrie .It was a wonderful addition to my memories of Peter Pan. I don’t really see how it could be bettered!” Laura Duguid (née Llewellyn Davies) – Goddaughter of JM Barrie.

“We had a magical afternoon under the big tent, the production was fantastic. The visual effects that heightened the flying sequences had everyone around us ducking through archways as Peter and co zoomed off to Neverland. The cast was great, Tinkerbell was a hoot and the puppetry was masterful. We had a very special family experience and I suppose the highest praise came from my son Charlie aged five; the moment the show was finished, he turned to me and said, “That was great Dad, let’s watch it again!” – Russell Crowe

“The initial flight when they leave the bedroom to escape to Neverland is magical, the roofs of London projected onto a thin curtain behind which Peter, Wendy and the boys soar.”

“Harry Francis as Peter Pan is undoubted star of the evening. He is utterly convincing as the small boy who never wants to grow up, has a splendid singing voice and is a great mover, whether on the ground or flying high over the streets of London. The wires are barely visible in the aerial sequences, which are well choreographed”.
