Cast Announced and Launch of The New Adventures of Peter Pan, Eastbourne 5 Dec - 11 Jan

Eastbourne residents may have rubbed their eyes in disbelief recently as Peter Pan, Wendy, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and crew ventured out and about in Eastbourne when the cast of The New Adventures of Peter Pan gathered for the launch of this year’s Devonshire Park Theatre pantomime, under the watchful eye of award-winning Director Chris Jordan.

Soaring to Neverland in this brand-new high-flying pantomime adventure are Angus Benstead as Peter Pan, Ella Bracci as Wendy, Gabriella Gilliat as beloved fairy and Peter’s side kick Tink and Jessica Aubrey as Mermaid. Lewes Roberts (Robin Hood and Beauty and the Beast for Eastbourne Theatres) returns to the Devonshire Park Theatre stage as the loathsome Captain Hook and Eastbourne annual favourites Martyn Knight and Tucker are ready to join his motley crew as Mrs Smee and her son, Smee, Hook’s loyal but useless first mate.

Having checked his crew were ship shape after photos and filming on the Devonshire Park stage, Captain Hook led the whole team to none other than Eastbourne’s own Treasure Island to test their sea legs aboard a ship, challenge Peter Pan’s sword combat skills at height and see how well the Smee family could protect him around crocodiles!

Rewarded afterward with a quick trip to the beach, the cast are now raring to go and excited to deliver an unforgettable theatrical experience that will leave you believing in the power of magic.

This enchanting production of The Adventures of Peter Pan will be packed with live music, vibrant sets, colourful costumes, spectacular special effects, and plenty of laughs.
