It’s going to be a week of family-friendly plays, festivals, pumping music, and wild parties across a selection of genres: rock, electronic dance, alternative, and more. If you’re looking for something less active and more reflective, the film roster from the National Gallery‘s annual film festival is offering plenty of choices.

Giving it a fresh Asian twist, this heart-warming prequel to the legend of Peter Pan will have you wishing you were seven again. Join in for a night filled with wit, imagination, colourful characters and the most exhilarating, magical adventure. Now, off to Neverland!
Peter and the Starcatcher is happening from 28 September to 20 October at the Drama Centre Theatre. Tickets available here.
