About the Event
Performances occur on grassy areas where attendees should bring their own blankets as seating is not supplied. Doors open one hour before the show begins. Join Ratty, Mole, Badger, Otter, Portly, and Mr Toad as they adapt Kenneth Grahame's timeless tale of life by the riverbank for live theatre. This highly regarded outdoor production features music, songs, and comedy throughout. It offers entertainment for both children and adults since the Head Chief Rabbit turns the audience into rabbits through ear wags and nose wiggles. Young "rabbits" are invited to participate actively in the action and receive opportunities to shout out loud, sing along, and join the adventure. With humor and surprises designed for kids and grown-ups alike, this represents interactive theatre at its finest. Having celebrated over 35 years in Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens and 20 years in Sydney's Royal Botanic Garden, The Wind in the Willows remains Australia's most cherished affordable family entertainment experience.
