On stage at Lincoln Arts Centre for Christmas this year, The Wind in the Willows - a brand-new theatrical adaptation of the tale.

Oh how splendid! How kind of you to visit! Welcome! You know, I was just this very minute about to send a boat down the river with strict orders that you were to be fetched up here at once, whatever you were doing… and here you are! My goodness you don’t know how lucky it is, your turning up at Toad Hall just now… so lucky you can’t imagine…!

Following last year’s wildly enthusiastic audience reception to Alice in Wonderland, Lincoln Arts Centre and Lincoln School of Creative Arts are partnering once again to present their latest breathtaking co-production: a brand-new theatrical adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s enduring tale of adventure, loyalty and the strength of even the most unlikely friendships.

The Wind in the Willows is brimming with laughter and excitement, live music, vibrant imagery and playful imagination, as Ratty, Mole and Badger try their very best to help the rascally Mr Toad out of all sorts of trouble… The tranquillity of the riverbank balances the reckless allure of the open road in a timeless story that celebrates how, after even the most exciting of escapades, there’s nothing quite like returning to the comfort of friends and your home sweet home.

What truer way to make merry this festive season?
