Come Away

Synopsis

In this reimagining of their origin stories, Peter Pan and curious Alice are siblings growing up on the outskirts of Victorian London. Alongside their older brother, David, they let their imaginations run wild in the English countryside across a blissful summer. Their make-believe tea-parties, sword fights and pirate ship adventures come to an abrupt end, however, when tragedy strikes in the family with David’s sudden death. With their parents struggling to cope with the loss – struggling financially and turning to alcohol – Peter and Alice travel into London to try and help. Ultimately this leads them on separate adventures, as Alice journeys down the rabbit hole and Peter finds his way into a separate magical realm as leader of the “Lost Boys”. ‘Come Away’ is an enchanting tale which explores the joy of storytelling and childhood adventures while also tackling hard-hitting subjects such as grief.
