The Rome-based Peter Pan Onlus association, which provides support for families with children suffering from cancer, stages its annual perfomance Merry Christmas Peter Pan on Monday 8 December at Teatro Olimpico.

The play concludes the association's 20th anniversary celebrations and organisers say the Christmas show is always a special time for everyone at Peter Pan.

The event allows the families that have been helped by the association over the years to reunite with the volunteers and other families they met during their stay at the Peter Pan centre in Trastevere. It is also an occasion when friends and donors of Peter Pan can gather to support the association.

The 13th edition of the Christmas show is directed by Chiara Fasanelli, with lots of artists who donate their talents for the good of Peter Pan and the people it supports day in day out.

The play has the support of the capital and the Lazio Region, and takes place at 21.00. For tickets tel. 389/4672494, email info@merrychristmaspeterpan.it or see website.
