This summer school holidays, bring your little badgers to a charming tale of adventure and discovery, in a brand-new one-man adaptation – starring Luke Carroll (Play School, Black Diggers).

Kenneth Grahame’s rollicking tale of four woodland creatures is one of the true enduring classics of children’s literature and writer/director team Maxine Mellor and Kat Henry have given it a fresh coat of paint.
Join Ratty, Mole, Badger and the incorrigible Mr. Toad on their journeys, trials and misadventures around the river, the Wild Woods and beyond.

Full of heart and humour, The Wind in the Willows gently addresses some of the big questions about humanity, time and the value of friendship.

For children aged 4 – 12 and anyone who enjoys messing about in boats.

The Wind in the Willows
Season 7 Jan – 17 Jan 2015
