Adapted and directed by Les Winspear, The Wind in the Willows tells a timeless story of friendship, loyalty and working together to win the day.

Life on the riverbank is blissful for Otter, Rat and their new friend Mole, but when the blustering, fun-loving Toad takes to the road, no-one is safe. And things go from bad to worse when the Wildwood Weasels decide to move into the once peaceful neighbourhood.

The Wind in the Willows is a fun-packed adventure, full of laughs, looniness and lyrical songs all beautifully staged against the natural backdrop of the glorious Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.
