This much-loved tale comes alive with this pared back retelling, first staged in 2010, which combines all the joy and mystery of Kenneth Grahame’s classic, with the lightness of touch and playfulness of award-winning playwright Mike Kenny. Tired of spring-cleaning, Mole ventures out to the riverbank, and befriends the resourceful Ratty, gruff Badger and the infamous Toad of Toad Hall (“Poop-poop!”). Together they explore the Wild Wood and try to keep Toad out of trouble. This is a fresh version of an old favourite.
