​

My Friend Peter is a family friendly folk musical for all those who seek big adventures in little places. The play follows Beatrix as she makes her journey through the uncharted water of a life most unexpected and tells the story of her loves, losses, struggles and triumphs of one of the most celebrated authors in children’s literature.  Her imagination comes alive on-stage accompanied by rousing folk-music, but the fantasy unravels when cruel twists of fate uncover a bitter-sweet reality behind the magic.

 

2016 marked the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth; HookHitch embarked on a UK tour of My Friend Peter in 2016 to commemorate the life and work of this influential and trailblazing woman.
