What a summer! The Wind in the Willows sold out for all performances within two weeks of our box office opening! We played to full houses with almost 1200 people of all ages enjoying the exploits and adventures of Toad and his friends Ratty, Mole and Badger. They steered motor-car-obsessed Toad away from his reckless behaviour and helped him mount a courageous mission to reclaim Toad Hall from the weasels. Blewbury’s open air garden theatre was the ideal setting. Thanks for the numerous wonderful messages we received following our performances. We have tried to capture the mood of these in this word cloud.
