The Wind in the Willows (Kenny)

by Mike Kenny
based on the novel by Kenneth Grahame

Join Mole as he introduces you to his friends; amiable Ratty, wise Badger and infamous Mr. Toad. Together they tell action packed stories of boating on the river, adventuring in the Wild Wood, battling weasels at Toad Hall and a few mishaps with motor cars. This new look at Kenneth Grahame’s classic tale is inventive and fantastically funny.

Reviews

The show really dazzles and captivates.

- British Theatre Guide

Mike Kenny’s script is funny, clever and pointed in its championing of riverbank life. It has a warm heart but is never twee.
