Wendy & Peter Pan, Barbican Theatre review - mixed bag of panto and comic play, turned up to 11 by Helen Hawkins

The RSC adaptation is aimed at children, though all will thrill to its spectacle On paper, this RSC revival of Ella Hickson's 2013 adaptation sounds just the ticket: a feminist spin on the familiar JM Barrie story, with a gorgeous set, lots of wire work and all graced with the orotund tones of Toby Stephens as Captain Hook. In action, this mix doesn't work as well as you want it to.
