Peter Pan Goes Wrong....

[janzman]

....Did anyone watch this on News Years Eve..anyone who has any experience or knowledge of Amateur Dramatics as I have will have found themselves saying 'yup thats how it can all go wrong', very funny, it reminds me of the classic Michael Frayne play 'Noises Off'.

Yes, Janzman.....I watched it and, having been a wardrobe mistress for an am dram company, I know how wrong things can go......

If you're doing Superstar and Jesus doesn't stand quite in the right place for the crucifixion scene the big wooden cross being lowered down will land on his head.....removing the crown of thorns took some time.....

Mischief Theatre Company also does.......The Play that Goes Wrong which I've heard is brilliant too......must get myself to London for them......x

I thought it was great - happy thoughts of pantos past :-)

have you seen their live plays? The Play that Goes Wrong and Comedy About a Bank Robbery. Both very funny indeed.

We saw the Play that goes wrong by Mischief Theatre Company at the Edinburgh Festival a few years ago...it was absolutely side-splitting. I do not know when I laughed so much....so I would wholeheartedly advise going to it.
We saw Peter Pan goes wrong on stage at the Kings in Edinburgh too and although it was very funny, I thought The Play that Goes Wrong was even better.
I didn't see the TV version, but I'll definitely have a look on catch-up.

I haven't seen Peter Pan live but it looks as if it was extended for TV in order to include the Teletubbies

I particularly enjoyed the bits where Peter Pan kept getting flown into the scenery. Having been an ASM, tasked with the job of flying both scenery and actors into position, I know just how easy it is to get it wrong!

I put Noises Off to my am dram group but it didn't get much of a look in. If I remember rightly we couldn't do the scenery :(
