Peter Pan “cloned” for global market as family entertainment defies the recession

altFollowing sell out dates in London, Three Sixty Entertainment is taking its panoramic production of Peter Pan to the United States and then on to the Far East. The experimental British theatre company hopes to create a tented production that can become a global phenomenon on a par with Cirque du Soleil.

 

Three Sixty's sales director Colin Wilkinson says he could see the potential for the tented theatre productions to become a "major UK export" and he recognised that it could be increased in scale thanks to the potential to run several productions around the world at once.

The company's first production, Peter Pan, was a mix of live actors and panoramic film projections onto the canvas of a custom-built tent pitched up in Kensington Gardens – where the play's author J M Barrie met the Llewelyn Davies boys, his inspiration for the tale.
