Wind in the Willows
Join us in 2027 for a tiny adventure with a big heart…
Phoenix is delighted to present the 2016 musical comedy adaptation of the literary classic Wind in the Willows by Julian Fellowes.
The story follows Mole, Rat, Badger, and the impulsive Mr. Toad, whose insatiable need for speed lands him in serious trouble. With his beloved home under threat from the notorious Chief Weasel and his gang of sinister Wild Wooders, Toad must attempt a daring escape leading to a series of misadventures and a heroic battle to recapture Toad Hall.
With a stunning score, riotous humour, and heartwarming friendships - this is not a show to miss!
Wind in the Willows will be directed by Elliott Jones. Elliott is new to our society, but brings a wealth of directing experience - and the creativity (and friendliness!) we love at Phoenix!
Performances will take place in May 2027 in south London - more information on dates and venue to be shared shortly.
