Details

Adventures around the riverbank. As well as the irresponsible Mr Toad, you can meet wise old Badger, the inquistive Mole, and the ever resourceful Ratty. Join Mole as he introduces you to his friends; amiable Ratty, wise Badger and infamous Mr Toad. Together they tell action packed stories of boating on the river, adventuring in the Wild Wood, battling weasels at Toad Hall and a few mis-haps with motor cars. This summer, nature will take over York Theatre Royal’s building as the foyer is transformed into a magical, grassy woodland. Have a picnic on the lawn before entering our newly configured auditorium in the round - as you’ve never seen it before! From the team that brought you The Railway Children comes another much loved family story, re-told in this inventive and enchanting production.
