As funny as The Play That Goes Wrong was, Peter Pan Goes Wrong may be even better with audiences knowing what the story is supposed to look like.

The Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society puts on a production of Peter Pan co-directed by and co-starring Chris (Henry Shields) and Robert (Henry Lewis). From the beginning of the show, there are countless problems with the cast, crew and set that takes the play off course.

Within the cast, there isn’t one performance that’s not perfect. It takes a lot to be good, but even more to be good at being bad. Amongst the most impressive is Nancy Zamit whose dual roles as Mrs. Darling and Liza at the start require impressive quick changes.

In the audience, you won’t stop howling with laughter or gasping in delightful shock.

Final say: A comedic masterpiece. ★★★★★
