Wind in the Willows
OPEN AIR THEATRE SEASON
Heartbreak Productions present
Wind in the Willows
On Sunday 26th it’s more than “Simply messing about in boats…”
A world away from the usual tales of the riverbank, audiences will be welcomed into a setting of late Edwardian England flying machines and invited to join air crew mechanics as they cast off their brown coats, take on the mantle of Toad, Ratty, Mole and Badger and begin to recount this well-loved classic tale.
Wild woods, winding lanes, high jinks, increasingly ill-advised modes of transport and a chase sequence to rival the Keystone Cops, provide just some of the enchanting and entertaining backdrop to the shenanigans at Toad Hall. This brand new adaptation promises to retain the story’s timeless quality yet add a little of the extraordinary.
With an astonishing combination of inventive props, ingenious set, creative costume and live music provided by the River Bankers Band, Heartbreak’s production of The Wind in the Willows is set to become this summer’s “must-see” for all the family.
Gates open from 6pm each evening with performances commence 7.30pm. Light refreshments during interval. Visitors are invited to bring their own chairs, warm clothing & picnic if desired.
