Product Description

Buckle up! Toad is behind the wheel and causing chaos in this brand new adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's beloved novel.

When Mole accompanies Toad for a "quick spin", their subsequent crash lands Toad in jail and Mole in the depths of the Wild Wood. This is weasel territory, along with foxes and stoats, and not a place for a riverbanker. Luckily for Mole, Ratty and Badger are close at hand to save the day in this lovely musical, ideal for 6-10 year olds.

Seven wonderful songs by the incomparable Niki Davies and a funny, dramatic script by Tom Kirkham make this a musical experience not to be missed.

Contains 44 speaking roles with a flexible cast size of between 25 to 50+ (ideal cast size 44).

The Director's Book includes the full script with song lyrics, character list and curriculum-linked material along with the sheet music piano score with vocal line and guitar chords. The accompanying CD includes all songs recorded with children’s voices and full backing tracks.

An editable version of the script in Word format is available to customers who also purchase a performance licence. The cost of the editable script is currently £9.95 and this can only be bought (along with the performance licence) direct from the publisher’s website or by email to .

Few stories have captured the imagination of children and adults alike as Kenneth Grahame's beloved 'The Wind In The Willows': the memorable characters, the bucolic setting, the warmth, the gentle humour, the imagery, the poetry, the teachings about life and the love of the natural world. We hope, in this short, fun-filled piece of drama, that we have captured the essence of the book and made it engaging and accessible to its young performers, regardless of where they may be performing around the world.
