Bust out of your house these school holidays and come to the Playhouse for a "toad-ally" magical re-telling of the classic Kenneth Grahame story The Wind in the Willows.

The incorrigible Mr Toad has a new craze — shiny motor cars — and it’s up to Rat, Mole and Badger to save him from himself.

Cue a rollicking tale complete with daring escapes, dastardly plots, dramatic chases — and a little song and dance thrown in for good measure.

Directed by Brent Caldwell, choreography by Jemma Adams and with original music by Danny Still, Dylan Shield and James Adams, this show is a school holiday treat.

The Wind in the Willows will run from July 6-14 at the Playhouse Theatre, 31 Albany Street.

Shows are at 11am and 2pm daily, apart from July 6, 7 and 14, which are 2pm only.
