Peter Pan Reimagined Review, The Rep, Birmingham

Peter Pan Reimagined Review, The Rep, Birmingham

[Ad-Review] If you are heading to The Rep in Birmingham this festive season to see Peter Pan Reimanaged, make sure you leave all preconceived ideas about the J.M Barrie classic at home. This year’s festive offering from The Rep is like no version of Peter Pan you have ever seen before. There are no pantomime jokes and “he’s behind yous” to be found here.

Review: Horrible Histories Live On Stage, Belgrade Theatre, Coventry

[Ad-Review] For the last six months, Mini’s has been obsessed with Horrible Histories. She loves to watch the TV programmes and has also been enjoying reading the book collection. She was therefore beyond excited to be invited to see Horrible Histories Live On Stage. Mini loves the mixture of humour, silliness and songs of the TV show.

The show, at The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, is based upon the book series written by Terry Deary and…
