Our Review:
John Dixon - 5 December 2010
The Wind In The Willows is Northern Stage main Christmas show this year, with The Little Boy Who Lost The Morning, playing for young children in their smaller venue.
Designer, Neil Murray, uses the vast stage to its full advantage, allowing the riverbank to come alive as we meet the animals. The detail in items such as the train, made from a giant roller skate, and a barge, which is a giant sardine can, are a delight to behold as we follow Rat, Mole, Badger and Toad on their adventures.
The story starts with Rat and Mole meeting before they follow Mr. Toad in his sort lived love of horse drawn caravans, before he changes his mind and wants a motor car, which we all know will end in disaster. All the time, behind our heroes backs, the Weasels are planning and scheming, before taking their chance to take over Toad Hall. But we know it will all turn out well in the end and with Badger as their guide, Rat, Mole and Toad soon win back Toad Hall.
