| Adventures of Mr. Toad, The |
|
|
A fun-filled musical adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows' which follows the impulsive Toad through a series of daring adventures. The invaluable support of his riverside chums helps to bring about a joyous conclusion. This delightful show is ideal Christmas and holiday fare.
A very adaptable show that can be performed by professional, amateur or school forces. Supplemented by chorus of children, the show is staged with eight players with roles as follows: Mole, Rat, Toad, Badger, Chief Weasel / Clerk, Magistrate / Washerwomen, Policeman and Rosy.
It is also effective with a 'cast of thousands'; this is more suitable for school productions since there is no limit to the size of the Choruses of Animals and Weasels, and doubling of the main characters is not necessary.
Some of the settings can be simple front cloths to enable main sets to be changed behind. The caravan should be practical and the car should be the large 'pedal' variety. Costumes should be bright and cheerful, and it may help to envisage the show as a fun-filled, three dimensional cartoon. |
