About the Show
PETER PAN By J.M. Barrie
A fun family Christmas show for all ages, featuring all the usual Spontaneous magic. You’ll believe a boy can fly!
Edwardian England: Wendy and her brothers Michael and John have the adventure of a lifetime when – having taught them to fly – Peter Pan whisks them off to Neverland and recruits them to help him fight the dastardly pirates, led by the villainous Captain Hook. With a little assistance from feisty fairy Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys can our heroes win the battle? Don’t forget to listen out for that ticking crocodile…!
The beloved story of Peter Pan – the boy who wouldn’t grow up – is brought to magical life by Sydenham-based theatre company Spontaneous Productions for its 6th annual pantomime and the third to be performed in the beautiful setting of St Bart’s Church, Sydenham. After 2021’s Beauty and the Beast and last year’s The Blues Brothers Grimm expect to be highly entertained, with amazing songs, fabulous costumes, special effects, audience participation and lots of Spontaneous-style surprises!

The Audience Reviews
What audiences have said about previous productions:
- Always so impressive! Funny, charming, clever and brilliantly acted. Well done
- I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed Beauty and the Beast. Our 4 year old was giggling away. Great jokes, great story and great songs. I think it is the best family show from Spontaneous so far. Congratulations!
- So magical
- What great fun, looking forward to your next play!
- Wonderful and joyous
- (My son) and his friends really enjoyed it…They watched spellbound throughout and talked about it all the way home. The songs were brilliant, all the cast incredibly strong and the jokes gloriously daft
