PETER AND ALICE by John Logan at London's Noel Coward Theatre with Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw. March 9-June 1, 2013

PETER AND ALICE
a new play by John Logan

London's Noel Coward Theatre
March 9-June 1, 2013

Judi Dench and Ben Whishaw 

With JUDI DENCH and BEN WHISHAW. Directed by Michael Grandage

“Of course that’s how it begins: a harmless fairy tale to pass the hours”

When Alice Liddell Hargreaves met Peter Llewelyn Davies at the opening of a Lewis Carroll exhibition in 1932, the original Alice in Wonderland came face to face with the original Peter Pan. In John Logan’s remarkable new play, enchantment and reality collide as this brief encounter lays bare the lives of these two extraordinary characters.

Judi Dench plays Alice and Ben Whishaw plays Peter in Logan’s first new play since Red, which went on to win six Tony Awards in 2010.
