TALKING Scarlet bring Kenneth Grahame’s delightful children’s story The Wind in the Willows to Dorset next week.
When Mole plucks up the courage to explore the riverbank with his friend Ratty, nothing can prepare him for the adventure that awaits.
Along with Badger and the irrepressible Mr Toad, the foursome career from one exploit to the next culminating in a battle not only to save Toad Hall, but their very way of life.
This new musical adaptation captures all the wit and bonhomie of Kenneth Grahame’s original novel, and aims to bring the delights of this literary classic to yet another generation of children and a touch of showbiz to the riverbank.
As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad’s craze for fast travel, which leads to a whirl of trains, barges, gipsy caravans and motor cars and even into battle.
This wonderful slice of family theatre is at Lighthouse in Poole from May 26 to 28.
