Outdoor Theatre: The Wind in the Willows - Hanbury Hall
Join award-winning Illyria Theatre in the gardens at Hanbury Hall as they perform Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows on Saturday 9 August.
Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes just messing about in boats. Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad announces his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a caravan. Generous Toad. Exciting Toad. Only-A-Tiny BitBoastful Toad. The Riverbankers console themselves with the fact that he cannot possibly get any worse - until, bewitched by the roar of a motor-car and the screech of burning tyres, he does. His friends resolve to save him from himself – but can they teach him even a jot of restraint AND help him evict the stoats and weasels from his ancestral pile?
Multiple award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s timeless tale of friendship, laughter, the longing for home and the lure of adventure. Enjoy it all summer across the UK where the story is set: in the great British outdoors.
Running time: 100-minutes (approximately), including a 20-minute interval.
Please note:
