LOVE/HATE and Fair City star Johnny Ward will play Captain Hook in the University Concert Hall Panto, ‘Peter Pan’.
Ward originally played the role of Captain Hook in a ‘Peter Pan’ panto that was set to run as a drive-in event at Dublin’s Malahide Castle in 2020, before being cancelled due to the pandemic. The panto was screened online and released in cinemas last year.

The ‘Peter Pan’ panto celebrates 10 years of the UCH and Robert C Kelly panto, and will run from Thursday 15 December 2022 to Tuesday 3 Janurary 2023.
“While we presented Jack and The Beanstalk online in 2020 and A Lot Like Christmas to a reduced audience last year, Peter Pan will mark the 10th Anniversary of the UCH Panto, and will see it return to the large scale production that families have come to enjoy at UCH.
“We really can’t wait to bring the magic of the UCH Panto back for families this Christmas”; said UCH Director Sinéad Hope.
Join the boy who never grew up, together with his friends Wendy and tiny Tinkerbell, as they travel to Never Never Land to take on the hilariously horrible Captain Hook and his band of (pretty useless!) pirates!
