Experience Peter Rabbit’s Easter adventures at the Covent Garden Piazza
The Peter Rabbit Easter Adventure will take place in the heart of London’s Covent Garden Piazza from March 21- April 16.
Through a captivating mix of live performance and puppetry, visitors will be transported back to a Covent Garden of old, teeming with fresh flowers, fruit and vegetables as Beatrix Potter heads out on a mission to rescue Jemima Puddle-Duck from the clutches of Mr. McGregor.
During this new 50-minute interactive outdoor adventure, families will experience Peter Rabbit’s adventures in person as they accompany Beatrix Potter to search for secret notes, maps, and other clues and meet Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and a few surprise encounters along the way.
The show is adapted by Calum Finlay, directed by Barney McElholm and designed by Tina Torbey.
Between them, the creative team bring the experience of working at the National Theatre, Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre of Scotland and Shakespeare’s Globe.
Included in the ticket will be an Activity Burrow for creative crafting for all ages including letter writing to Beatrix Potter and a Peter Rabbit reading corner.
Additional activities available on site include Mr. McGregor’s Obstacle Course for thrill-seeking children who want to test their driving skills in a mini Rover for ages four and above and families will have the opportunity to clamber onto Mr McGregor’s tractor and have a souvenir photograph taken with Peter Rabbit.
Adam McKenzie Wylie, founder of the show’s production company, Histrionic Productions, said: “After a hugely successful inaugural outing at Blenheim Palace last summer for The Peter Rabbit Garden Adventure, Histrionic Productions is delighted to be staging The Peter Rabbit Easter Adventure at Covent Garden this Easter holiday.
“The combination of Peter Rabbit, the inspirational surroundings of London’s original fruit and vegetable market, and Eastertime is perfect theatrical alchemy for an all-new, urban, family, immersive experience for 2023 and we are delighted to once again be working with our friends at Penguin Ventures to bring this family-favourite to life in the heart of old London.”
