The Wind in the Willows

Blue Apple Theatre presents The Wind in the Willows at Theatre Royal Winchester from 26 to 27 June 2024 and also via livestream on 27 June 2024.
Blue Apple Theatre has a deserved reputation for tinkering with classic tales whilst holding tight to what lies at the very heart of any story – our take on The Wind in the Willows will be no different. Blue Apple’s version of the much-loved family favourite will go right back to the source material and pay due respect to Kenneth Grahame’s creations – then we’ll present them in their own unique way – seen through our prism.
Expect a visual treat, songs, laughs and colourful characters; buffoonery, heroes, villains, jokes that wouldn’t be out of place in a pantomime and an ending where all get their just rewards. So far, so traditional, but this is a ‘Willows’ for our time, turning a few expectations on their heads as we look forward by looking back – after all, one of our key characters is a narcissist and a fantasist, attempting to bend the truth to suit his own agenda – desperately defending himself even as the law closes in on him…
Come and join us as we explore friendship, frolics and feuds.
