Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) is one of the many celebrities who will participate in a live reading and performance of 'Peter Pan' in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity at the Albery Theatre, London, to celebrate the 100th birthday of the boy who wouldn't grow up. The night aims to raise £1 million to build a Tinker Bell play area in the hospital's new medical daycare centre.
Isaacs also starred in the newest film version of Peter Pan earlier this year as Hook.

In 1929 J M Barrie gave the copyright of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Ever since then, the gift of this magical story has allowed countless sick children to do the very thing that Peter Pan could never do… grow up.
