  • A more perfect feast of feelgood, family-oriented fun could hardly be imagined than Lee ‘Billy Elliot’ Hall’s terrific adaptation of The Wind in the Willows… this version must be counted among the very best

  • A beautiful, lovingly produced and faithfully adapted production... the incorrigible Toad makes a fine companion for the new year

    Toadally disappointing

    Venturing out from his subterranean dwelling, Mole joins Ratty in his boat, for a voyage up the river. They soon encounter the wealthy Mr Toad, who has adopted caravanning as a new pastime. Nonetheless this leisure pursuit is traded with a different one when he is forced off the road by a motorcar – igniting a new craze in his life. Whilst Badger, Mole and Ratty struggle to alleviate Toad of his car fixation, the weasels use it against him in order to acquire the deeds to Toad Hall.

    Taking into account who the members of the cast were, I was expecting something much, much funnier. It is apparent that a good effort has been made by all, but the result is simply not the sum of the parts. There’s no real plot and the kids post interest very quickly. If I’m honest I would rather do housework!!!
