Payment to our author Richard Gauntlett includes an amount to Great Ormond Street Hospital in respect of royalties.

J M Barrie gifted the rights to Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929. An ammendment to the Copyright Designs & Patents Act of 1988 gives Great Ormond Street Hospital the unique right to royalties from Peter Pan in perpetuity.

Director — Joe de Mounteney

Joe (Prince Charles 2009 and Nurse Nitwit 2011) has swapped his frock for a Director's megaphone! When asked what principles underpin his directing style, he refers to the ancient Chinese proverb:
Unless you know for which port you're sailing, no wind is favourable. Unless it's Panto, in which case any wind is generally good wind.

Choreographer — Deborah Heath

Deborah first started dancing at the age of 3. She appeared in numerous shows and pantomimes and once danced at the royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford. At university Deborah became involved in International Athletics and devoted all her spare time for several years to distance running and marathons. When she gave up competitive running she established a successful interior design business and returned to her first love, the theatre this time focusing on choreography. Deborah has choreographed a number of shows including Aladdin in both Madrid and Hurst and our productions of Jack and the Beanstalk and Babes in the Wood.

Musical Director — Liz Wade (Liz Drew - professionally)

Liz studied in London and Hannover. She is principally a clarinettist, playing regularly with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. She has appeared as a soloist at all the major London venues and as an orchestral clarinettist at the principal concert halls throughout Europe.
