“Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below, filling each lowly burrow with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”

In 1908, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, Kenneth Grahame wrote The Wind in the Willows as a reflection on a bygone time, a nature-filled lifestyle that seemed to be rapidly disappearing. Grahame’s woodland critters are just like us: they emerge from their homes seeking adventure and good company; they make rookie mistakes and terrible blunders; and they are driven, as if by some ancient force, to appreciate and wonder at the world around them.

Phoenix Theatre Ensemble’s new interactive adaptation of Grahame's timeless classic is a tale of river life and friendship. This adaptation is entertainment for all ages, confirming the power of close friends and how courage can make a difference in the lives of others.

Performed under the canopy tent in the garden of the Hopper House Museum, rain or shine.
