Kenneth Grahame’s beloved classic, The Wind In The Willows, has been reworked as a traditional pantomime. Featuring the four main characters, Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad, whose madcap antics exasperate his animal friends.
A group of weasels headed by Ratfang the chief weasel, have taken over Toad Hall and Toad and his friends are determined to recapture it. They are helped in their efforts by Toad’s staff, Chef Sally Soufflé, handyman Dan Cann, and Chloe the chambermaid.
Join them in a hilarious adventure as they set about the dangerous task of ousting the weasels from Toad Hall. Their task isn’t helped when Toad steals a police officer’s electric scooter from the village fete and finds himself up in court in front of the strict, Judge Anne Jury.
The traditional love-interest is provided by the lovely Chloe and Forester Green, a handsome botanist who’s on a mission to save the rare ghost orchid that is rumoured to grow in The Wild Wood.
The script features a very funny courtroom scene involving several well-known nursery rhyme characters as well as Mr Toad. Traditional slapstick scenes, including Sally’s mobile food stand and a frantic whack-a-mole scene involving Sally and Dan. Plus the ever popular it’s behind you ghost gag scene.
This enchanting panto is sure to prove popular with audiences everywhere and will bring a smile to the faces of both old and young.
