About This Deal
The Event
The Duchess Theatre plays host to the Royal Opera House's take on the classic Wind in the Willows this January. The show follows Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad as their quiet stretch of riverbank sees the arrival of a speeding car, along with a train and criminal goings-on in the Wild Wood. Based on the book by Kenneth Grahame, the show sees the tale retold complete with a mixture of song, dance and puppetry, complete with narration by Sir Tony Robinson, playing Grahame himself. The production is recommended for children aged 5 years old and up, lasting around an hour and 30 minutes, with an interval.

Reviews
The Wind in the Willows at The Duchess Theatre picked up a crowd-pleasing 5/5 from The Financial Times and 4/5 from The Express. The critics were keen to praise the show's narration and use of dance, however special praise went to the staging, which sees the scenery and props conjured from items in the attic. Both reviewers also felt the show's visual impact and approach made for a great introduction to ballet for younger audience members.
"I think it tremendous fun. Here, as a most welcome Christmas treat – amusing but also heart-touching – is Will Tuckett’s version of The Wind in the Willows as dance-drama, and an entertainment for almost all ages (if not the teeniest ankle-biters) given with great ingenuity, real charm. And not a dull moment."
