About

Dive into summer with Mat Joness sparkling one-man performance of Kenneth Grahames classic The Wind in the Willows.

Dive into summer with Mat Joness sparkling one-man performance of Kenneth Grahames classic The Wind in the Willows. Mats sensational single-handed storytelling makes the original 1908 text leap from the book to the stage, bringing to life the timeless characters of Mole, Ratty and Badger as they follow the irrepressible Toad on his hapless misadventures. Indulge in the tale afresh, straight from the authors own words, as youve never heard it before!Based on the bedtime stories that Kenneth Grahame imagined for his son Alexander, The Wind in the Willows was first published in 1908 and soon became a firm favourite of children and adults alike. This lively, engaging and ebullient one-man performance comes from Mat's own condensed version of the original 1908 text, not adapted or reworded, just a little snip here and there.For grandparents to grandkids and everyone in-between, this stunning one-man performance brings the tale to life straight from the page!You do not need spectacle to be spellbound. You just need a storyteller this good.
