Brilliantly exciting, funny, and spectacular family theatre has always been something that I’ve been passionate about. Great family shows can often inspire a life-long love of theatre and we think our brand new production of MR TOAD will do just that! Our show features fantastic puppetry, wonderful sets, and a hilarious script.

We’ve been working on this magical new production for over a year, and we can’t wait to share it with our audiences across the UK!

MR TOAD is a larger than life story, based on Kenneth Graham’s much loved ‘Wind in the Willows’. It’s a story of friendship, self discovery, overcoming adversity, and a need for speed! Our incredible cast of three, bring Toad, Badger, Ratty, Mole, and all of the other riverbank characters to life with funny songs, witty jokes, and beautiful puppetry.

Since a child, I’ve always loved the story of ‘Wind in the Willows’, I remember reading it with my Grandparents during the summer holidays. Each day we’d read a few chapters and I’d get lost in the fantastic world of the English countryside; I remember the dastardly weasels, the grandeur of Toad Hall, and the wonder of fancy motor cars! We’ve taken all of that glorious storytelling, and given it a little twist. In our production, we hear Mr Toad’s story, from Mr Toad’s perspective, with all of the pomp and ceremony that you’d expect from the one-and-only MR TOAD.

With a huge handful of original songs, hilarious jokes, and plenty of audience interaction I’m certain you’ll enjoy our TOADally awesome show! Toot Toot!
