REVIEWS

"Top offering...magical! The Wind in the Willows is triumphant! This script, wisely and successfully relies on the imagination and attention to detail that has cut good theatre out from bad for several thousand years... Toad: he's such a slime, you'll love him." — The Bristol Herald Courier

"The play holds the attention of theatre-goers as young as five with its continual action, its music and its funny characters but parents and adults will enjoy this play for all the same reasons. This play appeals to all ages because of the fine adaptation written by John Hardy. ...All will find something to talk about and remember for a long time to come." — The Kingsport Times
