Children’s novel The Wind in the Willows is being brought to life by local kids in a celebration of nature, friendship, loyalty, and adventure.

Powderkeg kids will bring Kenneth Grahame’s much loved story adapted by Mike Kenny to the stage at Dempster Park Hall in September.

The show has been directed by husband and wife duo David and Donna Prince and is supported by a full cast of young local talent.

Mr Prince said the show has its own creative flair and is one that can be enjoyed by all ages.

“We’ve employed different techniques and aspects to make this show an all-ages show for everyone to enjoy. The Wind in the Willows is a story known universally, and we’ve created our own take on it,” he said.

The kids are rehearsing to deliver the show next month, and Mr Prince is inviting the community to follow the thrilling escapades of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Mr Toad

“I’m looking forward to having people come and see the show and see the joy that we’ve gained through the rehearsals be shared with the people in the audience,” he said.

The show will open on Friday, September 1 at Dempster Park Hall in Sunshine North.
