'I want to make you scream' bellows Captain Hook, and over 400 primary school pupils from Bispham, Grange Park and Preston respond with unbridled enthusiasm at the first afternoon performance of the panto 'Peter Pan'.

Paul Holman Associates target the show, again directed by Debbie Flitcroft, squarely at the younger end of the family market and the admirable energy of all six principal cast members is a recipe for success.
