Meet Kenneth Grahame’s memorable literary creations - Toad, Rat, Mole, Otter and Badger - at an outdoor production of The Wind in the Willows at The Royal Botanic Garden in Sydney this month.
The immortal story of life on the riverbank is a rollicking yet gentle adventure, starring the pompous, arrogant, vain, hilarious Toad – a favourite with children everywhere.
Toad, along with his better-behaved friends, have come to life every summer for the past 15 years providing enchanting and lively entertainment for all the family.
Julie Goss, a NIDA graduate from Jannali, is playing the role of Mole this year.
This critically acclaimed outdoor theatre production delivers music, songs and laughs.
There is fun for young and old as the Head Chief Rabbit transforms the audience into rabbits with a waggle of the ears and a wiggle of the nose.
The young ‘rabbits’ are encouraged to get involved in the action, and are given every opportunity to scream out loud, sing along and become part of the adventure - it is interactive theatre at its best.
Over the years tens of thousands have delighted in the simple pleasures of this rollicking promenade production … so this summer pack a picnic, pack the kids... and head on down to the riverbank.
The Wind in the Willows is on until Sunday, January 28 at The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney
Sessions 10.30am and 6pm Tuesday to Sunday (no show January 26).
