Mischief Theatre
Peter Pan Goes Wrong
★★★★☆ Fizzing
Peter Pan Goes Wrong, at the Playhouse until Saturday, can – much like its title character – apparently never get old. Instead, it remains fresh, funny and great fun on almost every level.
Pan Goes Playhouse
Peter Pan Goes Wrong tours to Playhouse in 2024
Mischief Theatre is touring the stage version of its BBC TV hit show Peter Pan Goes Wrong, with dates in Edinburgh (Feb 2024) and Glasgow (March 2024).
Magic Goes Wrong
★★★★☆ Cleverly stupid
Magic Goes Wrong is the latest touring offering from Mischief Theatre, the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong and its sequels. It represents a return to their comic roots, together with a considerable sprinkling of glitter.
Listings: Mon 11 – Sun 17 April 2022
What’s on Edinburgh’s Stages This Week…
All Edinburgh’s major stages are in use this week with some brilliant productions on offer from the NTS at the King’s, Giles Terera at the Lyceum, the Goes Wrong stable at the Festival, Vanishing Point at Traverse (where PPP is in its final week) and the second week of Dreamgirls at Playhouse.
Groan Ups
★★★☆☆ Flat
While there is real energy and commitment in Mischief Theatre’s Groan Ups at the King’s, it is in the service of a script that probably doesn’t deserve such efforts.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong
★★★★☆ Nowt wrong:
Brilliantly silly and utterly hilarious, Mischief Theatre returns to Edinburgh with Peter Pan Goes Wrong, spending the half term holiday until Sunday at the Festival Theatre.
The Comedy About A Bank Robbery
★★★☆☆ Spectacular:
There are plenty of laughs to be had in the touring Comedy About A Bank Robbery at the King’s. There are also a couple of gasp-inducing coups de theatre.
Peter Pan Goes Wrong
★★★★☆ Never Never stop laughing:
To die, that would be an awfully big adventure. So said Peter Pan, but he might have been talking about mounting an ambitious Christmas show when you’re a bunch of hapless students.
