About the Play

Peter Pan: The Boy Who Hated Mothers is a dark, mature stage adaptation that  explores the raw, psychological terror and grief beneath J.M. Barrie's original writing. This visceral new adaptation works from the original source materials to craft a darker, scarier, and more dimensional version of Peter Pan for a modern audience.
