Peter and Alice


Peter and Alice, Noel Coward Theatre, 2013

Cast: Judi Dench, Ben Wishaw, Olly Alexander, Ruby Bentall, Stefano Braschi, Nicholas Farrell, Derek Riddell.

Writer: John Logan
Director: Michael Grandage

Olly Alexander (singing with Years & Years) played Peter Pan, which I'd forgotten and when I saw it written down I almost tutted and thought, "oh course he did" because he still is a little. This is the second of the plays from the season when Michael Grandage took over the theatre and I imagine was the one I most wanted to see because of Judy Dench. She played the woman who had inspired Alice in Wonderland and Ben Wishaw played the man who inspired Peter Pan, an imaginary meeting. I have a feeling Ben's character through himself under a train at Sloane Square station. I'd see either of them again any time.
