Wise Owl Theatre bring the high-spirited and downright ludicrous tale of Mr. Toad to the stage at Buxton Opera House.

The world has held great Heroes,
As history-books have showed;
But never a name to go down to fame
Compared with that of Toad!

With Toad Hall under threat from the sly Vin Weasel, Toads insatiable need for speed could land him in serious trouble!

The story is based on Kenneth Grahame’s Wind in the Willows and includes appearances from the story’s exquisitely drawn characters including Badger, Ratty and Mole.

A show filled with love, laughter and heart-warming lessons in friendship, Mr Toad is the perfect family treat.

The production features puppetry designs by Matthew Forbes, Associate Puppetry Director, of the National Theatre’s award-winning productions War Horse.

Come meet Mr Toad and other Riverbank characters

Mr Toad and his friends will be in our foyer excited to meet you after the performance!
