Boxtree Productions are bringing their fantastic new musical adaptation of 'Wind In The Willows' to the beautiful Arlington Court near Barnstaple in Devon on the 6th August this year.
- Productions have been touring open air theatre since 2014 and have produced musical versions of; 'The Three Musketeers', 'Around The World In 80 Days' and 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. Arlington Court is a spectacular setting for such a beloved children's story as 'Wind In The Willows'. What better way to while away a balmy summers evening than watching a fantastic tale of rivers, motor-cars and picnics told in the energetic Boxtree Productions style?
Join Mole as she throws down her broom and heads out to find adventure. She meets Ratty, Badger and Toad, whose exploits cause all manner of trouble. When the conniving and criminal Weasels set their sights on Toad Hall it's up to Mole, Ratty, Toad and Badger to take back the Hall and learn the Weasels a lesson. Featuring lots of fast-paced fun, excitement and original music, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
James Franklin, managing director of Boxtree Productions said; “We are so excited to be coming to Arlington Court, steeped in history, it is going to be a beautiful backdrop to this terrific story.”
