About this event

Award-winning Illyria celebrates Kenneth Grahame’s ‘The Wind in the Willows’, a timeless tale

We invite you to lay down a rug, admire the far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley, and enjoy those extra hours of sunshine at this open-air performance. Illyria will be performing The Wind in the Willows, a timeless tale of friendship, and laughter at Pentillie Castle this summer.

Synopsis
Timid Mole yearns to explore the wide world. Gruff old Badger enjoys peace and quiet. Rat likes summer picnics and just messing about in boats. Their idyllic lives on the Riverbank are turned upside down when Toad announces his latest in a long line of extravagant obsessions: a gypsy caravan. Generous Toad. Exciting Toad. Only-A-Tiny-Bit-Boastful Toad.

The Riverbankers console themselves with the fact that he cannot possibly get any worse – until, bewitched by the roar of a motor-car and the screech of burning tyres, he does. The other animals resolve to save him from himself – but can they teach him even a jot of restraint AND help him evict the opportunistic stoats and weasels who have taken over his ancestral pile?
