Peter Pan

Attic brought to the Tivoli a spectacular production of Peter Pan complete with aerial antics by Peter, Tinkerbell, the Darling Children and even flying Mermaids! Megan Matheson-Adams was excellent as the eponymous Peter Pan whether in the softer moments with the Lost Boys or in the swash-buckling encounters with Captain Hook. Vikki Davidson as Wendy Darling was delightful as Peter’s love interest and her motherly instincts resonated with many in the audience. Joel Anderson and Zak Leyni played the parts of her younger brothers - top-hatted John and diminutive Michael - well. Hannah Smith as Peter’s Doc Martin booted fairy friend Tinkerbell was another excellent character encouraging the audience to cheer and boo when required. Tiana Mudkavi was a delightful Tiger Lily with a beautiful singing voice. Mikey Innes who, despite being devilishly handsome and having a good baritone singing voice, made a truly boo able Captain Hook. Emily Maciver as his side-kick Smee was a lovely bouncy character who brought lots of laughter to the piece. Last but not least was Mike Taylor as the garrulous, Doric cook Dame Delia – a superb creature in a series of outrageous costumes – bringing gales of laughter at her every word. And could she fairly move in those peery heels! Strong support was given by Matthew Walker (Mr Darling/Chief), Grace Hepburn (Mrs Darling) and Katie MacIver (canine nanny Nana). Singing and dancing to music from the likes of Abba and Dolly Parton the large chorus of Lost Boys, Pirates and Indians were note, word and step perfect. The set built by club members – especially in the blue-themed, multi-level nursery – was bright and appropriate. The costumes designed and made by Penny Duffy and Ross Buchan were also bright and appropriate to each character. The 6-piece band gave excellent support, never overpowering the singers. Thank you Attic Theatre for a wonderful evening’s entertainment.
