Peter Pan is the first Ballarat National Theatre podcast performance I have listened to. But it will not be the last! This performance was wonderful and very professional! I was quite pleased! There are performers/ voices for each character in the book, and sound effects through out. The performers did a wonderful job with the emotions and personality of the character they played. Overall the performance was fantastic! It was almost true to the book. They improvised in places, but it didn't... more

Everything about this podcast is first rate! This wonderful production swept me away from the humdrum of life...if only for a little while. Truly enjoyable

What an awesome idea, I love that the characters are voiced by different actors! The music is beautiful and the bloopers at the end are hilarious! Highly recommend.
This is a truly wonderful retelling of a classic tale. It is beautifully illustrated with excellent acting and musical accompaniment. I particularly love how the language and story have been updated to suit our modern understanding and standards- so carefully and seamlessly executed that it is difficult to tell where the alterations have been made. Bravo to all involved!
This is a wonderful podcast that will set your imagination on fire!
I love the different voice actors, it’s so much fun to listen to! I didn’t realize that it was in process still and now can’t wait for the next episode. 😅 Great job!

I thorough enjoyed this and recommend it! It is epic as. I really love all the different actors. I thought the actor who played the dog playing nana.
This is not your average audiobook. I can’t believe how much thought and effort have gone into this. The music sets each scene and the different characters voiced by each actors truely draw you into the story. The narrator has a marvellous reading voice and the lost boys are my favourite, what joyful voices! More please and thank you!
What an amazing audiobook! A tale I so loved as a kid, then again as an adult sharing with my own children! I have listened to many audiobooks, but none quiet as entertaining as this one! Well done to all involved!
This is such a great idea! The actors voicing each character are doing such a lovely job - I especially love the warmth in Mrs Darling’ voice, Tinker Bell’s laugh, oh and Smee cracked me up in Episode six! Top quality production!
