Alnwick Playhouse is set to retell a family favourite this summer which will be performed outdoors at the Alnwick Garden.

The new adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s much loved classic about four friends and their river bank adventures is being performed by 24 young local people.

The production aims to combine all the joy and mystery of Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved classic with a “lightness of tough and playful theatrically”.

The performance has been adapted by award-winning playwright Mike Kenny and will be directed by Alnwick Playhouse artistic director Damian Cruden, while music by Christopher Madin will be performed live on stage by the cast. And there will be an open call for local young people to perform.
