The Wind in the Willows

Blue Apple Theatre has a deserved reputation for tinkering with classic tales whilst holding tight to what lies at the very heart of any story – our take on The Wind in the Willows will be no different. Blue Apple’s version of the much-loved family favourite will go right back to the source material and pay due respect to Kenneth Grahame’s creations – then we’ll present them in their own unique way – seen through our prism. Expect a visual treat, songs, laughs and colourful characters;buffoonery, heroes, villains, jokes that wouldn’t be out of place in a pantomime and an ending where all get their just rewards. So far, so traditional, but this is a ‘Willows’ for our time, turning a few expectations on their heads as we look forward by looking back – after all, one of our key characters is a narcissist and a fantasist, attempting to bend the truth to suit his own agenda – desperately defending himself even as the law closes in on him… Come and join us as we explore friendship, frolics and feuds.
