Rebecca Hayes & Emily Burnett on Peter Pan –

Exclusive Video Interview from Sherman Theatre & Theatr Iolo, Cardiff

Step into Neverland – with a Cardiff twist.

We caught up with Rebecca Hayes and Emily Burnett—two of Wales’ best-known actor-musicians—for an exclusive behind-the-scenes video interview at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff. As stars of Theatre Iolo and Sherman’s magical new adaptation of Peter Pan, they share what it’s like bringing Wendy’s story to life in this bold, music-filled reimagining of J.M. Barrie’s classic.

Directed by Lee Lyford and featuring original songs by Gwyneth Herbert, this inventive production blends heartfelt storytelling, playful humour, and high-flying visuals courtesy of NoFit State. In our video, you’ll hear Rebecca and Emily talk character, creativity, and collaboration—plus get a glimpse into what happens during rehearsals with our additional b-roll video content.

Produced and edited by myself on location in South Wales, this is a must-watch piece of video content for anyone curious about the energy behind the scenes.
