The Adventures of Toad and Friends
A new stageplay adaptation of Wind in the Willows.
We follow the story of Mole, who comes out of his home in springtime to meet new friends – a Water Rat, a sensible elderly Badger and a lively Toad. Experiencing life on the riverbank, he is excited to go on a journey with Rat and Toad. But Toad’s obsession with various forms of transport eventually lead him into trouble when he steals a motor car, despite the friends’ best efforts to reform him. After being jailed for 20 years, the Wild Wooders – weasels, stoats and foxes – band together to take over Toad Hall. Following Toad’s escape from jail, the friends hatch an ingenious plan to reclaim Toad Hall from the band of outlaws.
