CHILDREN’S FAVOURITE, PETER PAN,
COMES TO THE HAWTH, CRAWLEY!
This year’s fun-filled pantomime at The Hawth, Crawley, is Peter Pan, starring Emma Barton
(Honey in EastEnders), Shaun Williamson (EastEnders and Extras) and children’s favourites,
Richard David-Caine and Joseph Elliot (CBeebies’ Swashbuckle). Following the huge success
of last year’s record-breaking production, Jack and the Beanstalk, the same creative team are
back with a show packed with bags of audience participation and spectacular special effects.

Emma Barton visits The Hawth for the third
time after wowing audiences in the hit musical,
Ch icago, and starring alongside Shaun
Williamson in the National Theatre’s hilarious,
One Man, Two Guvnors. Emma is really looking
forward to her ninth panto, despite the slightly
daunting prospect of flying for the first time!
Shaun is best known for playing Barry Evans in
EastEnders for nine years before appearing in
many other TV shows including two series of
Extras - working with Ricky Gervais - and Life’s
Too Short. He is currently starring in the hugely
successful tour of the West End hit musical,
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It’s a first for Shaun

EMMA BARTON
(EastEnders)

as well, he's never played Captain Hook - ‘an
infamous baddy’ - before, even though this
is his 16th panto! Richard David-Caine and
Joseph Elliot star as the comedy duo, Cook
and Line, in CBeebies' Bafta-winning, smashhit show, Swashbuckle, now in its fourth series.
The pantomime, which runs from December
9th until January 2nd, promises to be The
Hawth’s biggest and most spectacular
pantomime ever. Don’t miss out - with tickets
flying out the window, be sure to get them
quick, the croc is ticking! Call the box office on
