Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens A new stage adaptation of Barrie's Peter Pan by Tanya Ronder is to be produced in a special 1000+ seater rain-proof tent, the Neverland Pavilion, in London's Kensington Gardens from 26th May to 30th August. Directed by former Almeida associate director Ben Harrison and designed by multi-Olivier winner William Dudley, the production will feature 360 degree projected set using CGI technology. Harrison is a site-specific specialist who has worked extensively with Scottish company Grid Iron whilst Dudley pioneered the use of CGI scenery in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White. No one in the audience will be more than a few rows from the stage, which will make the production an intimate theatrical experience in spite of the size of the auditorium. In addition, designated picnic areas will be provided and bar areas selling drinks and snacks will be available on site which will be situated between the Serpentine and West Carriage Drive. The Kensington Gardens setting is appropriate as it is where two of Barrie's novels are set: The Little White Bird (1902), a story for adults, and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (1906), one for children. In fact, the latter is part of the former. Kensington Gardens is also the setting for the famous Peter Pan statue.
