Peter Pan: A Twinkle In Time
Melbourne, are you ready to fly back to Neverland? Peter Pan was the original Twink, but will he still be a Twink when the boy who won’t grow up, grows up?
Peter Pan has left Neverland and began to finally grow up, but in this world of social media, online dating and beauty standards, how will he fit in?
A one-man comedy show by a former Twink, Peter Pan: A Twinkle In Time is the brainchild of performer Dean Robinson. And with a raft of performances and glowing reviews under his belt, he is bringing his hilarious new show to Midsumma Festival.
Peter Pan: A Twinkle in Time follows the character we know and love in a whole new context, navigating the world of today, in a body that’s a little older than he is used to. This show has comedy, music and more than one fairy.
Created and performed by Dean Robinson, a Naarm/Melbourne based writer and performer, with sold out seasons of his past shows ‘#SwiftTok’ and ‘The Date’ and has worked as a performer in a variety of musicals and plays. Dean is no stranger to the festival scene having performed in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Perth’s Fringe World, Melbourne Fringe and Adelaide Fringe, and is excited to return to the Midsumma Festival.
So grab your favourite Twinkerbell and come along on a ride to Neverland!
WARNINGS
Coarse Language and Sexual References
Some of the sequences ran a bit too long for not enough payoff, but the performer's charm made this worth seeing. It would help to have had a recent viewing of at least one of the Peter Pan films. Cut the audience involvement through filling in cards though, most were discarded, and the three chosen didn't do all that much. There's the bones of a good show here.
