New Venture Players to bring Peter Pan to Newport

Running between December 11-14 at the Dolman Theatre, you will be able to journey to Neverland and stay young forever - well for the length of the performance - with their production of Peter Pan.

This is the second play from the New Venture Players – the oldest members of the Venture musical society – this year.

During rehearsals, the group have had the chance to work with Dave Willett, patron of the Venture’s Musical Society, through a workshop.

There are more than 25 members of the group, who will be performing in the play, with some even ‘flying’ for the first time – just like Wendy and her brothers in the J.M Barrie children’s book.

If you don’t want to be a ‘lost boy’ and left out of the battle with Captain Hook and Mr Smee, then you will need to make sure that you book your tickets for a performance now.

Tickets are available from the Dolman Theatre Box Office online or over the phone at 01633 263670.
