An all-star cast plays Badger, Toad, Rat and Mole in this lavish adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s children’s classic “The Wind in the Willows”, adapted by Lee Hall. Iconic locations such as the Riverbank, the Wild Wood, Toad Hall and the Open Road are brought vividly to life as the shy Mole is introduced to the countryside outside his hole, encountering industrious Ratty, gruff Badger and the irrepressible Mr. Toad. The actors subtly transform themselves into some of the best known animal characters from literature in a new and original way.
