(New York, NY) – BEDLAM (Eric Tucker, Artistic Director; Kimberly Pau Boston, Managing Director) will launch their 2017/2018 season with BEDLAM’S production of J.M. Barrie’s PETER PAN, directed by Eric Tucker, for a limited 47 performance engagement at The Duke on 42nd Street (229 West 42 street) from Saturday, November 11, 2017, through Saturday, December 23, 2017.  BEDLAM’S PETER PAN will open Sunday, November 19, 2017.

 

BEDLAM’S PETER PAN will star Kelley Curran, Edmund Lewis, Susannah Millonzi, Zuzanna Szadkowski, and Eric Tucker.

 

BEDLAM returns with a new production of J.M. Barrie’s 1904 play about the Darling children who follow Peter Pan and Tinker Bell to Neverland, where children never grow old.  BEDLAM’s cast of six will inhabit Barrie’s 25 characters including Pirates, the Lost Boys, Indians and the maniacal Captain Hook.

 

Peter Pan feels like the perfect play for BEDLAM because J.M. Barrie’s dry wit and humor provide for so many thrilling possibilities for invention,” said BEDLAM’s Artistic Director, Eric Tucker.

 

Tickets for BEDLAM’S PETER PAN will go on sale later this summer, and will be available online at www.dukeon42.org or by calling 646-223-3010.  Additional cast for BEDLAM’S PETER PAN will be announced in the fall of 2017.

 

PLAYING SCHEDULE

The playing schedule for BEDLAM’S PETER PAN is as follows:  Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7pm, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 7pm, with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.
