Thanks so much for having me @bristololdvic1766@paulfoste for this joyous trip to the treasure island. Brilliantly assisted by @chasingem on this one. Casting is a funny old thing when you cast Christmas shows in a heatwave but I am always bowled over by the sheer talent of actors. This lot is no exception- and are a complete joy to watch . Merry Christmas m’hearties. *Thanks to @jessicajefferiescasting for guarding my press night pizza
About 13 years ago I got to join @thersc casting dept and one of the best things I worked on was this show. I cast it before my son was a thought and when we brought it back in 2015 it was my first show back off mat leave and my son came to press night as a baby. We were lucky enough to get to do it at @leedsplayhouse just after Covid and auditioning in rooms with this play about loss when we’d all lost so much was hard and good. Then fast fwd 4 more years and it’s just been at the Barbican. It finishes tomorrow but I won’t ever say goodbye to it. But I did get to take that baby who is now a full grown boy to see it. Wendy Moira Angela Darling and all who have sailed in her you have my heart. Thank you to all casts over the 13 years for the joy you’ve brought me, and the ( good) tears. Thankyou @jonathanmunby and @ellahickson for having me, thankyou @hfmilleroo for giving it to me, and thankyou Neverland. You’ve been an utter fwendy. Second star to the right…. ❤️❤️❤️ #wendyandpeterpan
