Originally adapted and directed by Glenn Elston, The Wind in the Willows has become an enchanting family favourite during summer in Melbourne. Over the years an audience of tens of thousands have delighted in the simple pleasures of this rollicking production.
The endearing characters of the riverbank will captivate the imagination of audience members of all ages. Led on this fun and charming journey by the Head Chief Rabbit, the audience is transformed into Rabbits to help search for the lost little Portly, singing and dancing the Duck’s Ditty, and learning the “Whispering Willows” song.
Each season the production has grown and developed as different performers bring their own special touch to the play. The script changes a little each year to add new episodes and provide new surprises.
This year celebrates the 20th year of The Wind in the Willows and to acknowledge the public’s support over the years The Australian Shakespeare Company is giving part of the proceeds of the Melbourne season to the Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliaries.
