Our London premiere of Ella Hickson’s exhilarating take on JM Barrie’s beloved classic has confirmed its full cast.

Joining the previously announced Toby Stephens as Captain Hook/Mr Darling is Lolita Chakrabarti, who makes her RSC stage debut as Mrs Darling, having previously worked as a playwright on our 2023 adaptation of Hamnet.

Hannah Saxby and Daniel Krikler also make their RSC debuts as Wendy Darling and Peter Pan, while Charlotte Mills returns to the role of Tink, following her performance in the original 2013 and 2015 productions.
