Peter Pan Goes Wrong is a play by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields of the Mischief Theatre Company (creators of The Play That Goes Wrong). Like The Play That Goes Wrong, the characters and members of the fictitious Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society present their production of the J.M. Barrie classic Peter Pan.

The production is presented with permission from the Great Ormond Street Hospital, who are supported by the royalties of the play.

Production history

The play made its world premiere at the Pleasance Theatre in London in December 2013 before touring the UK in 2014. The production transferred to the West End in London at the Apollo Theatre for a Christmas season run in 2015. It featured the original case of The Play That Goes Wrong.

It returned to the Apollo Theatre the following year for another Christmas season run from October 2016 making it the third show running in the West End from the Mischief Theatre Company after The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About A Bank Robbery.

Reception

Like The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong received positive reviews.

The original West End run was nominated for the 2016 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy (awarded to Mischief Theatre Company the previous year for The Play That Goes Wrong[1]) but lost to Nell Gwynn.[2]
