Ratty is staging a one-rat show of his eventful life during the period documented in ‘The Wind in the Willows’. But Toad is present and not content to remain in the audience!
Despite their differences, a little kindness and compassion allows our heroes to learn more about each other, strengthening their friendship.
The performance is equally manic and moving. Creative use of props, puppets, and actors showcase the fun and adventure as well as the mysterious, intangible beauty of this masterpiece.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to enjoy family theatre this holiday – book your seats now.
