The Wind in the Willows by Illyria - Durham Cathedral

About

Enjoy Kenneth Grahame's timeless tale of friendship, laughter and the lure of adventure! Enjoy the story where it is set: in the great British outdoors, and told by award-winning performers, Illyria Outdoors Theatre.

The Story:

Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes summer picnics and 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 gypsy caravan.

Generous Toad. Exciting Toad. Only-A-Tiny-Bit-Boastful 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. The other animals resolve to save him from himself – but can they teach him even a jot of restraint AND help him evict the opportunistic stoats and weasels who have taken over his ancestral pile?
